1987 300D Turbo Exhaust Questions

I need to replace the rear muffler and perhaps the center muffler on my 1987 300D Turbo.

You may also want to try removing the oil...

The 1987 300D Turbo has a block heater in it. Look underneath for the plug and see if the heater still works. It makes a world of difference in the starting on cold mornings.
