Difference between ML320 and Ml500 mufflers
Folks,

I had to replace stock muffler with aftermarket unit in 2015 then again in 2018 as they all keep rusting out
Now 2018 one is rusted again and company doesn't have replacement so they'll give me some money back

I found a really good deal on 2003 ML500 muffler and according to part numbers it doesn't fit 2002 ML320.

Does anyone know what the differences are or if there are any (maybe just different part numbers)?

Thx

The ML 320 muffler has two inlets (see arrows) and only single exhaust system.

The ML 500 has two mufflers with dual exhaust.

you sure?

Then why does ML500 here looks the same as ML320 (Dual inlet, one outlet)
