1997 E300 exhaust rattle
It creeped up and now it's driving me crazy, it sounds like rusty Honda.
Any pointers on doing the exhaust? Should I replace what is rotted or just do them all.

Replace all the hangers Donuts and muffler if it’s rusty. Or straight pipe it. They sound awesome. Ask me how I know.

A straight piped NA OM606 would be ear splitting loud and it wouldsound pretty good I'd bet. I'd do it for a limited time just to see what it's like.
Alright, I'll double check to make sure rust hasn't destroyed any mounting points.

As another poster mentioned, the heat shield would be a prime suspect. Another possibility can be one of the baffles inside the muffler or catalytic converter if so equipped may have broken loose.
