A very rare period AMG exhaust system !

Anyone bidding know that this will only fit a pre 1985 car with a single downpipe..

It shows two front pipes in the pictures

sorry i meant the post 85 has two per side.

The double downpipes always become one at the point where they latch to the transmission bracket.

The system in the auction above is a post 85 Gen II system only.

Gen I systems (Pre Sept 85) only have two components : a centre piece which runs from the downpipes to the rear exhaust, and the rear exhaust itself.

Gen II systems have 3 compoenents....the front pipes, the cetnre piece and rear exhaust.


I learnt the differences between the systems when i fitted the full AMG Sebring Gen I system on my AMG SEC DOHC Widebody, and the full Gen II AMG Sebring system (same as the above auction) on my white AMG narro-body SEC.

These old Sebring exhausts can be pretty tired and rusty through age - so one needs to be careful as if it's bad it's junk ! I was lucky to get my Gen I system on my DOHC Widebody, brand spanking new.

Glad i just got my exhaust done, or i'd be obsessing about this one! Bet it sounds nice. Talbir, your list of cars is amazing. Do you ever have open days? Theres things there i've never seen the like of!

it would be a nice period correct thing to have, but surely you could get something brand new aftermarket which would be guaranteed to have no rust and probably better performace?
