Exhaust Restored

Hi Guys!

Just got the exhaust system repaired (replaced actually). Exhaust system for this B230K have few components, let us check it briefly.

From engine exhaust manifold, there are 2 to 1 exhaust pipe, straight to a muffler situated under rear passenger's floor board. The muffler then connected to a 'bending' pipe which cross above rear axle and beside suspension spring to a second muffler located just under the rear bumper. And finally a tail pipe out from the second muffler to the air!

In my case, the exhaust problem was obvious, when the car sounded like a motorboat engine! It was out loud! Checked to a local exhaust specialist here, and both front and rear exhaust pipe had cracked and leaked gases out. The same goes to the first muffler which had cracked. Got them replaced.

FYI the exhaust pipes had never been changed since 'from factory' almost 21 years ago. And now only the rear muffler and its tail pipe is still sustaining the 'from factory' status!

Good day all!

I was having some exhaust problems too. I have a 1987 240 and as I was driving it one day in July, the whole system fell right off! turns out, it was very rusted and aged. My father is installing a new one we just bought a few days ago. I agree that it sounds like a monstrous motor boat! Everyone hears (and sees) me coming.
