Just got Schatz exhaust tip from formymercedes.com.
I just tried to install it, but the hanger part won't get hooked on to that metal piece. Any tip will be helpful.
Thx.

Jerry didn't sent the instructions? Talk to Drew at benzworld; he'll get them for you. (j/k) :D

Blake P Jan 5, 2004 08:01 PM

I had to bend the hanger just a bit to make it work. I ended up hating the way the tips looked and sold it on ebay.

MJ50 Jan 5, 2004 08:03 PM

oh, duh... :wall:
never mind...

i first saw the instruction sheet all in german.
i just noticed there was english instructions on the other side. :-P

just gonna take it to midas tomorrow...
anything besides typing is too much labor for me... :-)

Re: Schatz exhaust tip install HELP
 
I had the exact same problem. The pieces just did not fit. I ended up returning it back to Performance Products for a refund. Even though it turned out to be a manufacturing defect, they only gave me a partial refund minus the shipping cost.

Can I get a couple side profile pics from the car level (basically kneeling down next to car), and the level someone would see it from the side, say walking up to it...


Thanks in Advance!

Ditto. I think that I'm gonna bite the bullet and get one. Thanks for the (prompt) pics mj50.
