I'm trying to remember but I don't think I ever did any exhaust work on that car which I think makes it the only car I ever owned that didn't need exhaust work... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 7:10 PM, Dimitri via Mercedes wrote:

Re: [MBZ] 240D exhaust repair

You have to dissect the rotted pipe stub out of the muffler, insert a new pipe into the hole in the side of the muffler and weld the new pipe to the sheet metal on the muffler. Since the steel is thicker on the pipe, you have to direct the mig nozzle more towards the pipe and weave the puddle

Re: [MBZ] 240D exhaust repair

Nice work! (as always) I broke down and put new exhaust on both 240Ds. From crockauto the price is not so bad I patched the exhaust on the 81 for 22 years. the front pipe kept rotting away. Methinks it was a flaps replacement sometime, while the rest was original. I have a good
