460 rear tail pipe removal

Hi Andy
age and decay in that area results in corroded nuts and difficulty in removing the old tail pipe from the silencer pipe outlet ..the new pipe from MB ( crafted to the profile over the tank) so not available from exhaust suppliers ) was around GBP 100 at my last count ..if the silencer and the rest of the system is in "good condition" then a new tail pipe is the way to go..give MB your vin number as the pipes are different for the 230GE and 300D.. POWERFLOW Exhausts will fabricate a new system to exit in front of the drivers side rear wheel in stainless steel for under GBP 400..your nearest franchise operator is within 40 miles.....

Hi
If the bracket bolts undo freely it  is relatively easy to jiggle the pipe past the bumper**** make sure when you fit the new one to bandage it with loft insulation or plumbers wrap in the tunnel section  (use wire not cable ties) and line it up to give maximum clearance  from the fuel tank all round ....""especially if you have a plastic tank""
