Sweet! Another problem!

So I get in my car this morning, start her up, and notice it's noticeably louder than normal. Anyhow, after realizing my mercedes sounds like a broken honda civic, i decide to take a look under it. It seems both of my pipes from the exhaust are rotted out right behind resonator.

What should I do here? I've been wanting an exhaust system, but I don't want to attract too much attention. Should I just delete the resonator for a little bit of exhaust tone? Or just go back to stock and get it fixed? Opinions appreciated!

I'll see what my dad has to say about all of this, considering he IS my mechanic. I really want a little bit of tone though. Will deleting the resonator make a difference?

This happened to me a few months ago. Went straight OEM and it's beautifully silent again. Ahh, so nice.
