a car that can't do the throttle reset.
shouldve asked before buying them... those are notorious for being pos. they rust in a matter of days. they were a defect, and were stopped being produced.

Looking at the photos I don't see how they would even fit

based on the three versions I have owned.

Here are the rusty ones you bought:



Here is how the t304 stainless steel replacements looked:

If you haven't already payed him, I would just take the negative feedback instead of paying. But what I'm not saying is re-list them on ebay if you've already bought them.

Good idea guys, but what the heck! I mean, I only paid $51 + shipping so I guess there's no harm installing it and when it gets rusty then it's time to get something like hecdog's. Supersprints rocks man!!!!!!

and the ss muffler is perfect as well. Tasteful but definitely not a Mercedes sound anymore! I had the rusty ones for four months almost. The outside of the tips didn't rust as bad as the guy whose picture I swiped from another board. But the inside of the tips did start rusting after two weeks. I would not waste your time and money by having them installed. I would go for the better versions first that you know won't rust...and I still don't see how yours will fit based on that photo. They don't look right at all for the ML.

L2 is right, unless we're looking at a different perspective I don't see how it'll fit an ML. Too bad there's only one pict.

Lochs, my friend had those rusty tips on his ml. When he first got them he laughed at me saying i wasted my money on a brabus exhaust and that he saved so much money and got the same exact look. well, a few days later his rusted. You dont even wanna know what they looked like 6 months later.

I guess I'll just put it on, and see how long it will take until it gets rusty just for the fun of it. Who knows maybe the wife will notice it and if I'm lucky she'll suggest that I get a better one..............cross you fingers guys!!!
