My Merc Cab needed a new exhaust and I had a bespoke stainless steel one fitted as Merc wanted £1078 !!!!!. I stressed that I didn't want anything noisy and picked the parts that the guy said were the quietest. Before I left I said "I'm not interested in performance or sound - I want the quietest". You guessed it, I got it back and it sounded like a bleedin' Saxo in McDonald car park !!!!!
Faced with listening to that or spending another £1K on a genuine Merc one, I took it as a sign to swap my car (to a 911 Cab for a year - then to an XC90 - hence being on this forum)
I'd still have that Merc if I'd have spent the £1K .....
Make sure you don't fall into the same trap.
