Replacement Muffler?

I had my E420 inspected yesterday and they found a few issues notably the rear muffler was leaking. I'm going to have a friend look it over for a second opinion. If I do need to replace it I'd like to get the best part available (within reason) what are my options?

You have quite a few options. If you really want to keep the cost down, you could simply use a universal muffler from a number of manufacturers (Flowmaster, Borla, etc.). If you're willing to spend a little money for something that was designed for your car and will improve the sound/aesthetics, look into Remus, Supersprint, Eisenmann, etc. And, of course, for big bucks (and assuming you can track one down), you could opt for a tuner item from AMG, Brabus, Carlsson, Lorinser, etc.

From what I gather, you want a well-made replacement but at a reasonable price. I think Remus or Supersprint is your best bet.

Replacement rear muffler for my 300TE from dealer (discounter Caliber) was within $10-20 of typical aftermarket item and of MUCH higher quality.
