[R129 SL] Dual Exhaust?

[Jan Kuylaars]

George,

Did you simpel removed the last muffler and changed it for two pipes?
Or is there also two pipes on the right side of the car?

  On my 1990 500SL, I removed the rear silencer box and had a stainless
steel 'drainpipe' fabricated which clips over the existing +/- 3 inch pipe
and at the other end has the two down turned pipes exactly the same as the
M-B standard rear box with a bracket for the standard two rubber rings
suspending it from the car. It makes a lovely burble at low speeds, weighs a
quarter of the old box (which I have retained), but whether there is any
difference in performance is hard to tell - there are not many roads in
Europe (short of the German autobahn) where one can unleash 325 bhp!!!!

    Curious to know- has anyone installed a dual exhaust (maybe with
headers) on a V-8 R129?  Seems like it may be a good improvement.  I wonder
if there's an after-market system available.
