Need advice.....
OK, I am ready to tear into the Benz to install new O-rings for the turbo/manifold seal and a new intake/exhaust manifold gasket. I start to poke around and see alot of carbon buildup (exhaust leaks). My car is from CA and has been fitted with the catalyst. I'm not sure if I want to go to the trouble of taking everything off and dropping it off somewhere to get welded. Then pick it up only to put it back on to find more leaks. I don't want to waste my time. Someone on the board suggested "retrofitting" 48 state manifold/turbo setup to my car. Has anyone ever done this? I can make the swap I think. I have had the turbo off before to repair everything so I am not ignorant to the disassembly. I just don't want to open a can of worms. I don't know of any extra sensors, switches and such that a CA car has extra. What should I expect to pay for a setup? (48 state mainfold) I am guessing the only thing that is different is all the crap after the exhaust and before the turbo?
I can take pictures if anyone is interested.

I am getting tired of paying $36 for a new air filter element. I was thinking of setting up some kind of K&N filter. Is this alot louder than normal? I flipped my lid over once to allow more air into the canister and I couldn't stand the noise! I don't know if it was just echoing in the canister or what.

I'm almost sure someone did the "retrofit" at some point...... I remember reading something about it but it may have been 2 years ago. I would try a search, it might come up..... if you can figure the right thing to search for.
 I would like to say that the person who did it was from Alabama for some reason....... maybe I remember wrong.

Deleting all his posts in a huff.
Yes, the K&N is a lot louder. I just put one on my 409d because the original canister was damaged in an accident and the replacement cost was $400. I'm now trying to figure out how to quiet it down. I put a clorox bottle over the K&N and am currently sucking through the bottles opening and it seems to be quieter. Whether it is a long term solution, I don't know.

On topic, sort of, I was thinking about fitting intake and exhauset manifold from a pre-EGR 617 to be done with that little useless hunk of metal. As I have to eventually de-gunk the intake anyway..
