I am looking to change the exhaust on my 05 SL55. I want it to sound more dramatic with pops and crack sounds, perhaps more C63 like. I don't want a straight pipe sound, just a bit more dramatic sounding when blipping the accelerator pedal. I want to keep the pre cats also.
Anyone done this...
Today, or rather this evening, I'm going to my first popular music "gig" since 1972 when I saw Sly and the Family Stone on the campus of the large university I eventually studied at. I was 16 in 1972.
Tonight it is Barry Manilow at the Machester Arena. I wonder what differences there will be...

Hi all. I've recently been itching to experience a bit of luxury and comfort when I'm driving. I'm a self employed plasterer and am stuck in my Caddy Maxi everyday so I've decided that I want a Mercedes to brighten up my weekend driving. I'm keen on the older cars and have found a 1999, 90k mile...
Just got in the trusty W210 320CDI and within 100 yards there was loud bang/pop followed by the a short 'whoosh' like air escaping. Oh dear, what this time?
Engine kept running but with no power - it will rev normally at idle but load the engine and acceleration is either stuttering on part...
I'm fitting a Google Nexus 7 2013 with USB DAC feeding sound processor via optical. The processor feeds the amps ( just like an analog X Over). All in place of command 2.0, All factory fitted stuff has been bypassed with new speakers. All works well except a load pop when I start the car. I've...
I recently had the 'other' coil pack replaced before which the exhaust was definitely popping too much and even backfired a couple of times.
However, although greatly reduced now, as I take my foot off the gas, the exhaust still pops quite a bit.
Now personally, I think it sounds quite cool...
Should the boot on my wifes W212 conv raise on the keyfob button? Its not an electric one but I thought it might be sprung like the S.
I just got caught with another black W221 and a black W211 in a line behind in traffic. The funeral cortege is not a good look for merc drivers.
Years ago had an old ford pop 100e
Head gasket went, still got me home 98 miles later
Side valve engine, so simple to repair, 8 bolts , job done (after a clean)
Brakes, doddle to replace
Starter end worm gear to replace- piece of cake
Piston blew its top off - to replace - a doddle...
In the last couple of weeks, web pages seem to have lots of words underlined.
As the cursor goes over the underlined word an advert box opens.
Even a post I made here myself:

An odd query (for a motoring forum especially)...
How does one go by removing a plaster-of-paris cast, without a snazzy oscillating saw as used by the NHS?
(and before anyone asks, no, it's got nothing to do with a real injury... It's just that I need a recovery plan for the groom-to-be...

Every so often when I let out the clutch in 1st gear she pops out with a hellacious bump and of course the engine revs away. I put it back in and she takes off as normal.
Happens more often if I'm in a hurry...
Interesting, never seen this before, it should fix the design flaw where the springs snap the holder preventing the bootlid from opening completely via the key-fop.
Is the part number quoted for the screws only?

Hi All,
I bought this tip-top low miles 300D on Saturday, and I’m very pleased with it.
Cruised home two hundred effortless miles at around mid-eighties, no strain, an absolute pleasure. I had thought that I might need the power of the multi-valve, but I’m very pleased with what it has...
My laptop just made an electrical "pop" kind of noise followed by a slight trace of a burning smell. Everything is still working though???? Any thoughts anyone? Cheers
Hi,
I hope I can explain what happens to my W203:
Sometimes, when accelerating uphill (doesn't have to be too steep) my engine goes rough, kind of looses power, and then something POPS on the left hand side (i can't better describe that, could record sound if needs be) and then back to normal...
