Anyway, I called my local MB dealer, who quoted me approximately the value of the car for a new downpipe and exhaust system. Anyone have any better ideas for replacing an exhaust in western Canada (ideally Vancouver). Any experience with going to an exhaust place and getting them to fabricate one?

I can get an exhaust system excluding the cat for about 100 euros over here - problem is shipping...
...there must be other solutions where you are though.
Still it sounds like perhaps you've got a bit of a blockage or a hole in the system as well.
Have you noticed coolant in the oil / a reducing coolant level? (M102 engines are not known for their long lasting head gaskets - could be a combined problem)
