On my  1990 500SL, I removed the rear silencer box and had a stainless steel  
'drainpipe' fabricated which clips over the existing +/- 3 inch pipe and at  
the other end has the two down turned pipes exactly the same as the M-B  
standard rear box with a bracket for the standard two rubber rings suspending  it 
from the car. It makes a lovely burble at low speeds, weighs a quarter of  the 
old box (which I have retained), but whether there is any difference in  
performance is hard to tell - there are not many roads in Europe (short of the  
German autobahn) where one can unleash 325 bhp!!!!

Hi George- my '92 500SL also has the rear silencer removed and a "cheater  
pipe" installed.  I agree, it makes a nice growl
