Having years of experience with factory Tri-Ys these parts are 2/3 of a useable addition to w126. Down pipes are necessary and of a very precise design/build. Have never seen any precise dimensional drawings published. Since there apparently is no roadmap to constructing these critical components I think most exhaust/muffler shops would not have a clue how to make these parts work. Each down pipe is unique with specific bends etc. Tri-Ys are a wonderful upgrade for US w126 but one needs the complete system that attaches to many common exhaust/muffler systems. Best of luck for the new owner of these parts.
As a restorer of "Young Classic" Mercedes I have had 6 300SE's. These are wonderful driving cars. Much easier to maneuver in the city and parking lots as it is the shorter wheel base than the SEL's. This example is one of the nicest I have seen in quite a few years. For those interested, besides being beautiful, it has all the service history and that is priceless. This car shows pride in ownership from day 1. This one should fetch $12k if not more. Where you going to find another one? Buy it and drive it.
