" Well that is ridiculous. There you are in a lovely convertible car driving through the countryside and you have to put up with that racket. Clearly I've got to sort that out; it's something wrong with the exhaust. And to have a look I need to get the car up on the ramp."
" Well, I think I know where the problem is first of all we've got this problem with the silencer of the back here. It's actually not in such bad date but there is quite a bit of corrosion around the back of it here. If I go a bit further on there's a link here that's also really rusty. There's a few little pin holes so there's probably exhaust coming out of there as well. Go a bit further back there's light into this resonator or perhaps silencer. And we can see all this heat shield has already rusted away but also around the back, I can actually see physical holes."
" Oh dear the exhaust is much worse than I thought. The only answer is to drop it off and replace all sections apart from the manifold. It's not that difficult a job but it will take some time and much more money than I was expecting."
" Now this next bit's gonna get a little heavy so I'm going to get Paul to give us a hand, so Paul pop in here if you could? Just going to get him to hold the exhaust. So I'm just going to take off these last two rubber mounts."
" A very useful tool they say at loosing your fingers. Okay, the other one. Okay now just want to lower this down. So, if you got that end Ill just see this is where we're going to try and feed the exhaust through that steering idler on. Troy do you want to go down a bit? -- That's a very heavy exhaust Paul- a very heavy scrap exhaust. Time for the new one. I'm choosing not to use original Mercedes spares. We need to save money and cheaper pattern parts came in at 395 pounds. First I'm fitting the down pipes to the manifold."
" Well this is the clamp that holds this down pipe to the engine manifold and basically, you can see that it's got like a kind of a ball and socket affair. Which means you can kind of move it around to get a really perfect fit it also means the exhaust will be in exactly the right position so I'll just pop that up into here. Access is difficult and the parts are heavy so an extra pair hands is really helpful."
" Well that's actually probably the hardest bit done. The down pipes are now attached to the manifold so we're going to have to do now 'cause I'm now gonna get some exhaust paste. Now, this is pretty clever stuff. It's basically; it's all sort of soggy and gooey when you put it on. But, then as the exhaust heats up or in fact if you leave it long enough and just the air it'll go rock hard. And that will give it a perfect seal."
" There we go. Right. Now a little top tip when you put on these kind of exhaust clamps on it does help if you can just to twist them around so they're just out of the flow of things like speed bumps, logs dropped, that kind of stuff. Just so the don't get ripped off and damage your exhaust. Also don't go so far that they touch the underside of the car because they make a horrible rattling noise so.... Lastly, there's the rear silencer. Lift it up. This final rubber mount will stop the bat box rattling and our Merck is gonna sound the way it shouldn't."
" For after all that work we had to do on the hood that exhaust was so easy it was great so let's just see how good it sounds now."
" That is a beautiful thing. That really is."

Nice video, I got two great ideas, the exhaust paste you used and also installing the clamps side ways. I am on my way to my garage to install a system on my car.

@simpsons790 cut pip down to size intended and welde together or bodge job it with aslightly bigger sized pip put end of back box to the cut exhaust pip and then use clamps on each side with a bit of exhaus paste.
easier just go to a garage nd ask them nd shudnt cost to much :)
