i recently pulled my exhaust off, from the flange, on my 75 300D. it sounds like a war plane. I found a nice glass pack sitting in the middle of the road and will get around to installing it. surprisingly I have been pulled over twice since then but not for noise violations, one of the cops gave me a jump when i was having battery issues, when the benz fired its throaty growl the cop exclaimed "beautiful" lol its like they are expecting my diesel to be this loud! also the other night i was next to a fairly ricey honda at a light, there was a police officer across the intersection, when the light turned green I opened to WOT for just a second to gain some speed then let off, (this makes an extreme racket) the cop immediately turned his lights on a flipped a U turn, to pull over the honda next to me, while I crept away!!! hhaha

It would be cool to paint a very loud diesel benz as a German war plane!
