If you want standard type system, it's probably going to be easier to get from from someone like Summit or Jegs, or perhaps someone in the UK like US Automotive will supply one, I'm guessing you have to pay some import duty on things though?
The other option is a custom made one, which is what I did as I wanted stainless, so used a UK company called Longlife that have a few franchises all over the UK. Maybe there is something similar in Germany.
How does work with TUV over there for parts, or does it not apply to classics ?
I know getting a custom exhaust in Germany is very very pricey, it would be cheaper to ship one in from the USA.The other option is a custom made one, which is what I did as I wanted stainless, so used a UK company called Longlife that have a few franchises all over the UK.

The TUV in Germany is always a minefield when you have custom parts fitted but with older American cars I think its harder for them to give a good reason why it should fail. They are also aware the difficulties it is to get spares for these cars so most have custom exhausts fitted. (shhhh and to tell you the truth I don't think they really know what they are looking at) The car already has an after market exhaust fitted but it is looking old and tatty, plus the exhaust note has a tinny sound to it and not the deep blubbering noise i have come to expect from V8
My car is registered and passed TUV and I don't have seatbelts and the high-beam warning light is red and only works when the lights are on.
The TUV side is a risk I am willing to take plus I have another 22 months before next inspection
