NYbenz320

so i have been getting this noise from the middle of my car that sounds like a glass bottle being rolled on top of cement. so i take my car to the mechanic and he puts the car on the lift and takes a hammer bangs on the convertors gently and there the noise is along with the pain when he tells me $2700 to change both left and right convertors. Has anyone else had this problem and what did it cost. Also does the e55 exhaust bolt right on to the e320 convertors or do u have to do some modifying my mechanic says it wont work.
