My experience is that merc quality is the best especially if you need to keep the car for more than 3 yrs more. Aftermarket exhausts have a habit of lasting not more than 3 yrs in my experience.

BTW, I've recently welded the 500E's original exhaust (May '94, 222k mls) because there was more than enough metal in the system to last probably another 5 yrs as long as I welded the blow holes just before the weld into the mid box.
