Over decades of extreme heat cycling from the M104, M119, or M120 engines, these materials degrade at the tailpipe junction, leading to unsightly rust and potential structural failure at the welds. Furthermore, the factory tip geometry lacks the visual presence expected of a premium grand tourer, appearing undersized and restricting the aggressive rear profile of the vehicle. This degradation fundamentally diminishes the presentation and finish of the classic chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese upgraded exhaust tips utilize a mirror-polished T304 stainless steel construction, delivering superior mechanical resistance against oxidative scaling, road salt corrosion, and localized heat soak. The manufacturing process incorporates precise TIG welding and mandrel bending, ensuring structural integrity and a seamless internal finish that eliminates the stress risers commonly found in cheaper, crimp-bent alternatives. Featuring a 3.5\" x 2.5\" rectangle outer diameter and a 2.25\" inner diameter inlet, the 5-inch overall length provides a flush, OEM+ fitment. Installation remains highly versatile for fabricators; the robust 2.25\" ID inlet geometry allows these tips to be permanently TIG or MIG welded directly to the factory exhaust piping, or securely fastened using heavy-duty band clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1990-2002 Mercedes Benz SL-Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eM104, M119, M120 \/ R129\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e190-389 hp \/ 191-420 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W124 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W201 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W202 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W203 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W126 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz C126 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W140 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W210 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz R107 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz C107 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz W123 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMercedes Benz R129 Models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mercedes Benz Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the exacting standards of European touring cars, these exhaust components ensure flawless integration without interfering with factory clearance, delivering a refined aesthetic that matches the classic prestige and engineering caliber of the R129 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50171990475000,"sku":"DS-E8R5UCFIN","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/exhaust-tips-for-mercedes-benz-sl-class-r129-1990-2002-1.webp?v=1786904943","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/exhaust-tips-for-mercedes-benz-sl-class-r129-1990-2002","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
