Well the OEM exhaust on my 190E rusted through and went banging down Old Greensboro Road in Tuscaloosa after 120,000 miles, and we know that the cats on the 210's and 163's (if not others) have extremely high failure rates. So much for something magical about MB exhaust parts.

Much as I would like to keep my car 100% stock, I'm not paying a 700% markup just to keep some extra Swabians on the payroll if I don't have to.
