This original premerger AMG W126 exhaust kit has never been used or mounted and remains new old stock from AMG in the 80's. The kit constists of three separate pieces (pre-silencer, resonator/mid-section, and muffler w/AMG tips) with their own individual part numbers. This exhaust was manufactured by Sebring for AMG in the 80's for the W126 S-Class. Two of the pieces will come in their original plastic and detailed photos show original AMG stampings, part numbers, and labels. This new old stock W126 AMG exhaust is now being offered from a collection of AMG parts in Sweden.
All pieces are authentic parts made by Sebring and proper fitment is ensured as authentic AMG parts. The part numbers labeled on each piece are listed below:

AMG part number: C7490048/86

@AMG5pt4 The front is for SEL. These are the details for the part: AMG part number: C7490048/86 Sebring part number: 865372 Stamped on part: Sebring AMG VS 001 B7 Other info on label: AMG Mercedes 500 SEL Mod. 86
@48hp is correct - the overall length of this exhaust system would be set for a coupe or SEL. If the sum of the pieces is for an SEL, the Y pipe front piece would have to be modified to fit an SEC (shortened), if set for an SEC, the front Y pipe would have to be lengthened. The middle resonator section, zooming in on the label says SE, SEL, SEC, so the Y pipe would have to be adjusted. There isn't enough of the original label left on the front piece to know if that is for an SEL or SEC.
@amg5pt4 is spot on with each point. Regarding the AMG rear valance and AMG / Sebring tip alignment... The AMG rear apron/valance relief was molded to align with the OEM muffler tip exit point. That "relief" would have been filled in when this exhaust upgrade installed at AMG. This detail was overlooked by third party installers of this system, hence the misaligned end product. :/ Though both the collector and the muffler are universal between with both C126 and W126, the center section is wheel base specific, Good luck with the sale of this ultra pre-merger AMG bit!
@AMG5pt4 Thanks for the information. You are totally correct in regards to the material. I didn't want to repaint the parts as I wanted to sell them as they came from the factory. This gives the buyer the option to do what they want with it. There are companies that can coat them and it's best left for them.
The stamps on the underside of the three components VS, MS NS stand for Vorneschalldampfer (front exhaust), Mittelschalldampfer (middle exhaust) and Nachschalldampfer (rear exhaust)
BTW, these components will fit Gen I or II the same. The rear exhaust component is the smaller oval shaped exhaust that was the initial Gen I design. Gen II design is much larger boxier shape that is quieter than the Gen I version. Both styles fit Gen I/II W126's sedan or coupe. One thing that is a head scratcher about the exit point of the AMG Sebring exhausts and the correct AMG rear bumper valance don't line up - there is a relief molded into the rear bumper valance that does not line up with where the AMG exhaust tips exit the underside of the car. AMG missed on that!
Nice set of Gen I W126 exhaust pieces. These exhaust components are made of steel (as opposed to modern hi end exhaust components that are made from stainless steel or aluminized steel for corrosion reduction purposes. These Sebring components were famous for rusting - that is why so few original used AMG exhausts still exist, making NOS components very rare and desirable for a proper restoration. The center resonator section in this auction would have "spreader bars" or tubes that attached to the mounting hooks that are missing from this set. Not a deal breaker by any means - any competent exhaust shop can fabricate the missing parts. Pic 51 showing the center resonator section has the two tube stubs - the missing spreader tubes would slide into these tube stubs and be held on with bolts through the holes.

@Matzbatz80 Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have the Y-pipes.
@AE1728 Following on from what @DrAMG said, no this exhaust system is for the w126.
You don't happen to the Y-Pipes anywhere... :-) Very cool to see this post. :-)

@AE1728 no it won’t and it would be a shame if someone would cut/modify a new exhaust like this to make it fit a w201.
$200 bid placed by @Scott_Ales
will this work on a w201 cosworth?
