merc parts

thanks guys, i'll check them out. im watching one on ebay but its listed as a W204, not sure if they will be the same.

Dunno for sure, but it may not fit; according to the drawings , the coupe bodyshell (including bumpers) is longer than the saloon by about 10cm.
 
my other option is to go to an exhaust builder and have some silencers fitted to the twin pipe thats been fitted to it (as its just straight through pipe). probably a cheaper option and then keep the twin tail pipe look.

If it's a straight through pipe, then that's where your boy racer noise is coming from. The previous owner has the resonator removed. Your idea may be a good option, after all the quad tailpipes do look rather good!

The other issue is that if you revert to the 4 cylinder standard single tailpipe, you'll probably want to change the rear diffuser back to standard as well.

yeah the whole rear section (as far as i can see) looks like just pipe, no silencers, need to get right under it to have a proper look. its not offensive loud from outside but it does drone way to much inside !!!!! Mrs hates it :confused: people do turn to look though !!!!
not mad keen on the sound but do like the look of the rear end :)

Looking at the diagrams, you should have a rear silencer and a resonator between the tailpipe and second cat, so no wonder it drones!
