OM603 Euro Exhaust Manifold
I've searched for the answer to this on The List, 'cause I know I read about it somewhere, but I cannot find, so here goes.
From the day I bought my '87 300TD 12yrs ago, I've wanted to replace the Rube Goldberg exhaust manifold that came with my car,
with what the Teutonic Lords intended, but could never justify paying for the OE German part(s).
So, last week I loclated a '93 300SD [W140] OM603.97x exhaust manifold (the one w/o the trapOx plumbing & nearly identical to the Euro version).
I found it for a good price ($135), but when I asked for the downpipe, which I think I need for this 'conversion,' they wanted and add'l $225!!!
That seems to be a lotta $$$ f/what seems to be a fairly short pipe, w/accordian-style connector - from turbo-to-exhaust pipe.
Do I need this W140 downpipe, when fitting the exhaust manifold?
Thanks!
