Ahhhh, I'm beginning to understand now. Sorry I was gone the last few days, had to take a little 300 mile "field trip" (one way) to attend the funeral of one of my wifes aunts, but here I am.
So what you want to do is if the exhaust catalyzer clogs up, to replace it with a straight pipe. This doesn't I assume doing anything with the replacement pipe MB installed in place of the trap oxidizer (what the car originally had). I thought you wanted to make a trap oxidizer and gut it out for some reason.
Well I doubt MB will now turn around and sell you the former exhaust system. But I assume Timevalve or some other exhaust system company would make up an original style exhaust system for you, or possibly make you a "test pipe" to replace the catalyzer. I am unsure of the legal implications of doing this on a Diesel. On a gas engine anyone can tell you this is illegal, and in many states I assume it would be also on a Diesel, but unsure.
But this would leave you nothing to clean up the exhaust at all; the replacement "no trap" pipe on the exhaust manifold and no catalyzer pipe, which took the place of the trap oxidizer.
