Hello,

I am about to get an exhaust done by a muffler shop for my W201 and had some questions.

I do not want to cut my bumper, but there isnt enough clearance because the magnaflow muffler is not long enough vertically to clear. the guy at the exhaust shop recommended I just take this muffler and mount it vertically instead of horizontally so the offset exhaust tip can clear the rear bumper while retaining stock exhaust hangers



it just seems odd to me, but is there any sort of reason why i shouldn't do this?
