I've always hated what Winnebago did to the exhaust system on the Revel, and was very glad to remove it. I've now got the restored, original exhaust that Mercedes ships with the Sprinter. It was about $250 in parts, and was an easy installation.
We added plenty of heat shield to protect the glycol and water lines in the area. (The heat shield is $45 from Mercedes, part number 9064913730. It requires a little modification: towards the rear, near the water lines, you have give it a slight curve so that it fits better. Then use existing self tapping screws from the old heat shield to secure the new one.)
No more ugly, incongruous pipe hanging down there to get smashed against rocks.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for posting your mods. We've been following your posts, and implemented some/similar mods.
We purchased the Mercedes exhaust, and was about to install it when we noticed your post. We are wondering what you used as the heat shield to protect the glycol and water lines, and where you purchased it, if you don't mind letting us know.
Thank you,
Claire
The heat shield is a Mercedes part, number 9064913730. It’s about $45, and towards the rear near the water lines, you have give it a slight curve so that it fits better. Then use existing self tapping screws from the old heat shield to secure the new one. Hope this helps, I'm updating the post above to reflect that.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for your reply.
