1997 E300D EXHAUST
Over the past few days my exhaust got louder. Today we started it and it was excessive. Upon looking under the vehicle what appears to be a catalytic converter was laying under the car on the ground with the end away from the engine still attached. It appears it broke of cleanly from a pipe which as two holes (y). Any one has any clues. Nothing appears to be rusted.
Thanks Rod |

What's your GPS (Location)
AND more importantly has the chassis spent ANY winters where they SALT
the roads ? Are y'all in an Emissions Testing Zone ? If not , MIDAS can fix youse up permanently.

My 97 catalyst is rusted out and falling apart even though the car hasn't left SoCal it's entire life. Just delete the damn thing.

Beware that the exhaust sound may degrade significantly by replacing the cat with a straight pipe.
I think the dealer price for your car is only a few hundred dollars. For my '95 E300, the price is over $1600 for the same thing. Someday I want to get my hands on a 210 E300 non-turbo cat, I suspect that it could be retrofitted to my 124 E300 without too much fuss, but I need an example to test my theory.

UPDATE
Had a friend mig weld the CAT back in place. Upon starting it was again quiet. Strange enough the car was throwing a CEL P0200 before the CAT fell off. In addition for several years I have been fighting an irritating VIBRATION at idle ONLY, that causes my wife not to drive the car and only the kids drive it as they have no choice. I cleared the code before driving the car to my friend. The code never came back until after the CAT was welded back in and the car started ???. However now the VIBRATION is gone??? and PO200 is back.
