Looks like I am going to be doing a muffler replacement on my 560SL, as the original is de-laminating and is not long for this world! Need some recommendations and advice. I see that replacement assemblies (with dual pipes) are available from Bosal, Ansa and Eberspaecher. Any recommendations? I plan to do the job myself and seek a straightforward repair. I have done exhausts before on other cars, and they are always a joy! Wear your goggles and gloves, keep the wife and kids away.

How about the seal rings? Are they on both pipes? What is involved with the connections at the front (to the cat pipes)? The illustration looks like flanges with bolts and nuts. Rear seems to hang from rubber hangers, which I will replace. Thanks.
