Yes the Brabus muffler looks/sounds sporty, but the problem with using it on a diesel is the tips. Notice how diesel mufflers all have turned down tips? If you use straight tips like on a gasser, you'll end up with a rear end covered in soot. It's especially bad if you have a white or light colored car. Wash it and the rear of the car will look dirty again in no time! BTDT and went back to a turned down tip.

I agree with what you're saying there, Torsionbar. My old 190D had a Remus muffler and I would get soot accumulation on the back end. However, my current muffler set up does not get soot all over the back of my E300 which I was surprised about. I guess I lucked out this time.
