Our Commitment to Quality Stainless Steel products with the Durability of a Kitchen Sink

Timevalve stainless steel exhaust systems have been in service since 1977.  All Timevalve stainless steel exhaust systems for Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari and O.E.M. type catalytic converter devices for Mercedes-Benz are manufactured at our plant in Plainfield. Type 304 stainless steel sheet and tube is used exclusively.  This non-magnetic alloy is commonly referred to as the '18-8' stainless steel, meaning it is 18% chromium and 8% nickel.  Domestically, 18-8 is used in stainless steel kitchen sinks.  We invite you to put a magnet on your new Timevalve stainless steel exhaust system to verify that you are getting the very best grade of stainless steel.  Timevalve parts are near exact duplicates of O.E.M. parts in size and interior design.  This assures original equipment performance.

 

 












 

Timevalve has exhaust systems for most Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari and catayltic converters for Mercedes-Benz.

 

Our model coverage for Mercedes-Benz, U.S.A. or European versions, remains unequaled. Timevalve produces many Mercedes-Benz exhaust parts that Mercedes dealers in America can no longer get from Mercedes-Benz in Germany. Timevalve also fabricates on request, stainless steel exhaust systems for many pre war Mercedes-Benz and other classic car brands on a custom basis.
 












 

In regards to the installation of our products...

Years of experience has shown two facts.

  • First, because the Mercedes-Benz parts we sell are assembled in fixtures built around O.E.M. parts, they fit perfectly.

  •  
  • Second, your mechanic or skilled local muffler shop repairman can install a Mercedes-Benz system if he can install a Ford or Chevrolet system.
Prearrange his labor cost per hour and expect your exhaust system to be installed in around two hours.


 
Our Stainless Guarantee does not tarnish with age..

Our guarantee is inflexible - every stainless steel part in every stainless steel exhaust system we manufacture is guaranteed for as long as you own your car.

Specifically excluded from this guarantee are the catalytic converter "bodies" which we buy from outside sources. These have an industry standard 25,000 mile warranty on their ceramic cores. Also excluded are the rubber and metal detachable hangers that we purchase from Mercedes-Benz. These hanger parts fasten the exhaust system to the chassis and are designed to be replaced once every seven or eight years. We recommend that you inspect them for wear during each oil change.
