Hello
I have owned a 99 plate C43 AMG for just over a week and have been doing jobs to get it in the best condition possible.
Took it for a B service today at a highly rated Merc independent who put it on a ramp and let me inspect the underneath.
They pointed out the exhaust joints/clamps 3 of them along the length of the exhaust have rusted badly and cracked at the moment there is no blowing but I am anxious that this may occur before MOT is due in a few months.
Asked their advice and they stated that this is a full exhaust replacement job even though all the exhaust sections look in very good overall condition other than the joints similar to this picture
Would rather not go down the route of full exhaust replacement if at all possible and would appreciate any advice.
Many Thanks
