I think its fairly safe to say you only need one muffler. The rear muffler on my '81 300TD fell off. I wired the pipe up and we drove it with just the resonator for 4-5 months until I got rid of it. The car was not noticably noisier. The only downside was that with the sunroof open you'd smell diesel exhaust.

May have a hole in the exhaust pipe some place to go with a clapped out muffler. Crawled under and there is only the rear muffler, not the front one the parts book shows. Is there a need for a front muffler on a 72 220D? -- Clay Seattle Bioburner 1972 220D - Gump 1995 E300D - Cleo 1987 300SDL - POS - DOA The FSM would drive a Diesel Benz --------------------------------- Yahoo!
