MBH or Kleeman Down Tubes?
I'm looking to install DT on my my A207 and can't decide between the two.
Any suggestions from those with experience would be appreciated.

MBH or Kleeman Down Tubes?
I'm not experienced with your model Mercedes, but I am experienced with Kleemann and their downpipes. I have theirs on my car, and I'm on the second set due to what I would honestly call bad craftsmanship.
If you have another option of high quality stainless steel and minimal, preferably zero weld joins, only mandrel bent piping - that is what I would most likely go for.
However, I do drive an older model car and the pipes for them may simply be considered "obsolete" by Kleemann? Perhaps newer spec pipes for newer model cars are vastly improved?
Some food for thought at least?

I have decided on MBH.
I hear I should put the resonator back in after installing the DP with no resonator because it'll be too loud. What do you guys think? Any experience?

I have the kleeman catless dp on my car and yes you need to add the bigger center resonator back on the car and keep the stock mufflers or get the top speed pro exhaust (thats what i did). I had 3 configurations catless dp back to stock mufflers was too raspy at wot but sounded great under part throttle. I had the catless dp and stock resonator and mufflers had a little grunt but was muffled. Final setup catless dp to the top speed pro exhaust, sounded the best has a good rumble no rasp and wakes up when you get into the throttle.
