W208 Manifold Confusion
I have a 2001 CLK 230k W208 and have a split outlet manifold. I have taken the manifold off and found that the outer mild steel casing split due to the main support bracket failing under the car. I have tried welding this which works for a period of time but soon cracks again.
I have tried to look for a replacement on the net and eBay etc but cannot find one that looks like mine. The nearest one that looks like mine is off an ML W163 like this on eBay:

Does anyone know if this is the same as I cannot even find my type when just googling for an image of it?
Thanks

Removal procedure
Hi,
I had the same problem with mine but my garage welded it up along the seam on the car and it's fine since. Now it's bowing at the bottom of the manifold and I'm gonna have to take it off to weld it. Do you have the removal procedure?
Cheers, Alex.
