Yes they do. You can find used ones on ebay occasionally or try the classified section of this forum.

It wouldn't be a straight bolt on because the pipe diameters are different, so a muffler shop would have to weld it together using an adaptor.

HP gain/loss has been debated and no good answer has ever been reached. I know a C230 owner who has the AMG exhaust on his car and it doesn't seem to have made any difference in performance...but it looks GREAT!

it's pretty good. My friend had it on his 230k sedan before he Brabused everything. He bought it for 5 and sold it for 3.
