Hi all, just wondering what a good replacement muffler you would recommend for a 1996 Mercedes Benz C200 (Mum's car).
We've had the car since 1997, it has 160,000km and the rear muffler is perished. Sounds like a sand inside the muffler when you give it a shake.
An original replacement muffler from Benz is in the four-figure $$ region, hence we do not see the point of doing that.
We do not want it loud (obviously). Factory noise levels are ideal. Any performance gains are highly welcome. A 2.0 litre four carrying 1500kg certainly needs the gains.
I was going to suggest the LR2779 but it is too large.
If anyone has any suggestions for brand or model, just let us know!
Thanks
Justin
