We have used a bunch of timevalve exhaust, mostly on classics. They are rather expensive for normal transportation and generally they are a pain to fit. Twenty years ago when all exhaust was butt welded they worked pretty good. When they started building slip joints it became real hard to do an install as their bends were never close enough for all the pipes to slip together and go where they were supposed to under the car. Getting them close to hanger locations was a real problem. We always wind up cutting the slip joints off and MIG welding the system together.

Other than being crudely made, virtually by hand it looks, they are made of the highest grade of Stainless Steel and the systems we put on 20 years ago are as bright and shiney today as the day they were installed.

How does one answer the question: why would a Merecdes part be better than aftermarket? Maybe I should start with the story of the three pigs and the brick house. Or maybe the KFC comeback to McDs parts is parts chicken. It's my guess if you have to ask you won't understand or believe the answer.
