Some new pics- first few of the strange exhaust on the car someone made to get it approved for this country I guess. Also one of the ID plate on the rear bumper, anyone recognize it?

Some of the exterior with the new wheels on it and a close up of the sample area to see if the paint is still any good. After wetsanding and two stage buff, apparently it is

D**N! That's going to clean up fine. Any AMG stickers on the door jambs or radiator mount? NICE RIDE. And to you GOOD RIDE COWBOY!
That exhaust "Y" pipe is 180 degrees out of phase of the 380 Euro Logs and "Y" Pipe I just bought in NJ....Wonder if that is a NE US thing. Being mine crossed over from drivers side to passenger side with almost the same set up, but went into a 2 into 1 collector. Mine has an EGR on the driver's side log, and the driver's side down tube turned under the car to join the passenger side at the collector, the O2 Sensor was mounted just above the bend going into the collector, Passenger side down tube just dropped down, 90'd and went to the collector. My "Y" pipe was cobbled up too, so I just had the seller cut the passenger side off at the collector and the drivers side cut off just above the first bend. My muffler guy can do the rest.

Yeah I'm not sure what dto do with the exhaust yet. It's gotta be restricted, the narrowest point is a 1 3/4" pipe. Thats what both sides go down into...
What I haven't been able to get a definitive answer about is whether or not the Euro 500 came with an idle air valve and other stuff, I was surprised to see an EGR valve on it. my euro 380 doesn't have either piece. What did they come with before the DOT got ahold of it?

12 steps
hay john, nice ride. the first thing i would do is dump the seats. since there is a rumor circulating that you don't have room in the garage to store them, I'll reluctantly volunteer to take them off your hands. from the looks of the under-side, it appears the mileage may be true. what a beautiful"diamond in the rough"

My 1984 US ,CA, Spec'd 380SE doesn't have an EGR either. Hope I can ditch the one on the Euro Log too. Smog test sheet where EGR is listed says N/A. I do have the Smog air pump though.
What I'd like to do is pipe the down pipes to a crossover then to a dual in and out high flow cat straight to a Magnaflow (or equivalent) dual in and out muffler..with or without resonators. I would put the bung for the O2 sensor in the junction of the crossover. John, Next time use the Russian MB club website to run your VIN. http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

That is a nice car. It will clean up VERY well.
You might ask on Benzworld W126 about the exhaust, start a thread. (I am a Moderator there). There are some REAL W126 exhaust system experts over there. You will get some good ideas from them.

I got a little bored with the black AMG wheels that I had on it so I put these on:
19" Carlsson wheels with 235/40/19 in front and 265/35/19 in rear. Much better

Dyno day results!
I finally got my 1-bump front spring pads on it the other night and now the front end is at a height I like.
Today we had our DIY day with the local MBCA group and I went along to help out and get the 500SEC dynoed. Specs I was taking as official were these: 500SE/SEL/SEC 4,973cc, 96.5 x 85mm, V8-cyl OHC, type M117, Bosch fuel injection, 240bhp at 4,750rpm; 296.6lb.ft at 3,200 rpm (to spring 1981). 231bhp at 4,750rpm; 298lb.ft at 3,000rpm (from spring 1981 to October 1985). 245bhp at 4,750rpm; 286lb.ft at 3,750rpm (from October 1985). 184bhp at 4,500rpm; 247lb.ft at 2,000 rpm (US models). 168.4 HP @ 4250 RPM 257.8 FT/LB @ 1750 RPM Even taking in a 20% drivetrain loss, it's little less then what I was hoping for but nonetheless a good base value to start with before I mess with things Video:
