I went to my local indy, Autohaus Stuttgart and got my first oil change on the new car. (1990 300SEL) I asked him to really look it over. He couldn't find anything wrong with it, except he said I will need a new muffler soon. I couldn't hear it at all, but he said he thought it was a little loud and it looked like it was rusting through. Here's my question: Do I need a factory muffler. I try to use only factory parts, but is that necessary for a muffler? I guess it is hard to beat the factory muffler lasting 16 years, but what is a good source for a new muffler. According to my indy, the rest of the exhaust is fine.
