109 Exhaust

[Mercedesrover]

Here are a few pictures of the stock exhaust on my 2.6L 109 SW.

Thanks, Richard!
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Dammit! I wanted one of those stainless tanks but John isn't making them anymore. You did get that from John, right?

Thanks again.

I gotta say that with the turbo and spark arrester still on the system, it really wasn't all that loud. In fact, it was actually quite livable for short runs and gave the motor a nice throatier sound on hard acceleration. I also believed that it gave me an extra 2 horse at the wheels but you can decide for yourself.


By the way, I now have one of your adapters and am keeping an eye out for another 617 in better nick.

Thanks, Tim. I'm going to try it I think. I do have a very small stainless can from a Honda that I might use, but that's probably it.

Keep looking around for these engines. There out there. And I won't tell you that I just found a whole car today. 1983 turbo with 126k on the clock hit in the nose. And no, I won't tell you that I paid $100 for it......

I wish I had pictures of mine before the body went on, I have a 200 tdi in a 109 sw and I used a silencer from a 200 exhaust but it was unnecessary, I can hear the turbo well from the cab, put at the back of the truck it is almost too quiet. so you will be fine without the muffler. I too the truck to a muffler shop in town and they bent it up from 2.5 aluminized tube. it runs strait out the back next to the fuel tank, and up through the pto hole by the tranny.

Jim, Yes that is John's craftsmanship. The quality of his work is truly outstanding. You know, he was never in this for the money. He is more of a sculptor and artist than a manufacturer.

Let me know if you need a pic from another angle.
