I thought the C180s and C200s came with a single-outlet.
Was it possibly an option?

Never really paid any attention to it until recently. I have
owned it since new and the exhaust is still the original one
that came from the factory. (build date 2/95) I need
a new exhaust now because of it's bloody loud.(not in a
good way) When the MB dealer pulled up the '95 C200, it
showed a single-outlet exhaust.

I wanted to know why this was too when I had a '98 C200 and saw some earlier C200's had a single. All C180s were single.

As you have a '95 car I am not sure, I thought it was something that got updated. Is it the original pipe? Probably is, but that could otherwise explain it.

Early-mid 90s there were lots of changes to the emissions regulations and I think exhausts got changed a lot between different years. If the original box has lasted since 1995 then maybe it's earned it's retirement after nearly 10 years of service! ;)

even on the older 200's ive always seen them with the smaller twin pipes.

It was only the 220D and the 180 that had the single pipe.
