Re: [diesel_mercedes] 82 240D exhaust

 

One thing to consider.  Stainless might not rust, but it can stress crack.  The most likely place is the first piece after the manifold.

Try Peach Parts first, be sure to buy the improved 1972  R107 rubber loop hangers, they have chain inside and won't rot away and drop your exhaust without warning .
Buy the hangers NOW and take them with you to whomever fixes up your new exhaust .

Depending on where you're located it may be easier to take the car to an indie muffler shop, one that has a pipe bender and can make up the pipe as they go along .
I have a good guy in Pasadena, Ca. if you're anywhere in Southern California .

Best bet is to bite the bullet and pay for stainless steel, it'll out last you .

The muffler *must* be straight through (means look in one end, see out the other) or it'll have back pressure and you'll lose a LOT of power .

Let us know what  you decide, the M-B Classic Center maybe able to order you in athe correct top quality system complete .

They'll have the best quality R107 hangers too . takes four .
