w208 230K clk exhaust manifolds and downpipes

[Ala]

Hi all.

Does anybody know if there are any differences between models of CLK convertible and hardtop exhaust manifolds and down-pipes? I have a 2000-2001 convertible clk and recently purchased an exhaust for it. I went skipping out to the car only to find the front end (nearest to the engine) to be different. There are a couple of oxygen sensors (I think) on my exhaust that are not on the replacement one.

I have just ordered a copy of WIS in the hope that this will resolve the mystery but at the moment my car has no exhaust and no MOT so I was wondering how big or small a problem I have on my hands! Since selling my w126 I rarely get my hands dirty on cars but as the usually super reliable CLK has failed its MOT on an exhaust I thought I would attempt it.

Thanks all

I think the mystery has been resolved...

The w208.447 and w208.448 have different manifolds and downpipes. Now to see if they are interchangeable. The fun never stops.

Nice ultra burner, in the pic.

Strange. I wouldn't have thought there was any reason the manifolds would be different between a C208 and an A208; certainly there's no reason to remove the lambda sensor from one.

Don't think its a C and A difference.

The 208.447 had the M111.975 engine with a one piece exhaust manifold; the 208.448 had the M111.982 engine where EPC shows both one piece exhaust manifold in 2 flavours (both different to the M111.975) and 2 flavours of a split manifold (cyls 1+4 and 2+3).

As its an old thread, I assume the OP sorted it out but didn't let us know.

D'oh! I should have spotted that.
