I put off for a while installing the new exhaust system on my 190e. The muffler was supposed to be new when I got it. I ordered everything, but it when I decided to tackle it a week ago. After getting it up in the air the rear muffler was totally shot. I had it all installed but it, and it arrived today. I got it mounted up in there now, and I was looking at the old muffler he installed. It showed made in Isreal. The new muffler and short tailpipe weighed 22 lbs. It's a deep pocket expense to replace one of those exhaust systems, and no it's not S.S. either. It is super quiet now!
