As the internal baffles age, the system gets noisier (well before holes or external leaks appear). Consider Bosal replacement parts (Rusty sells them) if they make them for your year and model. They have a lifetime warranty. Eberspaecher is the OE maker for Mercedes and better quality than Bosal, but the warranty is far inferior. I've used both and both are of GOOD quality. Replace what is bad. I've found no advantage to replacing exhaust parts that aren't worn out yet. Marshall Donald H. Snook McDonald, Tinker, Skaer, Quinn & Herrington, P.A. 300 West Douglas P.O.
