Any one now of performance exhausts for the SL500 my exhaust has died and Id like to know if Performance replacements are available and worth buying. Is there an actual noticable differance.

Yeah, I'd like to know of one that works. Probably cost a fortune, too.
My SL is so quiet, a free flowing exhaust behind a set of headers would have to improve performance. I want side pipes, though. Something like the AC Cobra pipes, but a little more tastefully done. I think any SL would look just right with side pipes. Before you balk, check out the new SLR McLaren.

Be careful. I just restored a 1966 Corvette big-block with side pipes. They are wonderful sounding but the volume level is high and can be annoying on a long drive.
They do look great, though.

Yeah, I hear ya. Gawd, I'm punny.
With cats and mufflers, even high flow, it could be tolerable if done right. Certainly more tolerable than my Chevelle. That thing sounds like a Saturn V taking off and it doesn't even have side pipes.
I doubt very much if the SLR MacLaren sounds annoying, so something like its setup would work. It's probably loud, but only when you step on it.
