My SL500 has recently developed a metallic rattle/tinkle which rises and falls with engine speed. I've taken it into my local exhaust specialist who has identified the problem as being the cat which is located midway along the system on the nearside pipe branch. Whilst the car is 15 years old, it has only done 45K miles and the general condition of the exhaust system is very good.
I want to avoid having to replace the entire system. My thought is to that the old cat could be cut out and a replacement one welded in. Has anyone got a suggestion to resolve my problem cost effectively? Thanks
