Do you really think I should have the system removed? Am I destroying the engine? Is it that bad?

Gas is the cheapest thing you put in a car.So, I took a day off today and went to the best Mercedes mechanic in Prague (judging by the reviews) because of that horrible rattling metallic noise that I have every time the tachometer needle touches the 2500rpm, every gear, both accelerating or slowing down, with or without gear, even revving with the car stopped.
As soon as his dog stopped chewing my leg, he took a look at the engine, saw the lpg system, and said: I'm not touching this car until the LPG is removed. You're destroying the car this way, Mercedes are not intended to be converted. When you install an lgp system in a Mercedes the engine head must be replaced with something compatible with this gas, and here it has not be done.
Now, I bought this car already converted, and given the price of the gas here, I don't mind paying a third. I wouldn't have done it myself, but it was there already, and I must admit it works pretty well.
He didn't say anything about the noise, didn't even want to listen to it, he went on for 20 minutes just cursing the LPG (I left, probably he's still going on).
My concern now is that I'll never be able to have a mechanic, because my car is converted... And yes, I tried the LPG shop, they said no, we only deal with lpg related problems, this noise is not related, go find a mechanic.
Do you really think I should have the system removed? Am I destroying the engine? Is it that bad? I just wanted to get rid of that rattling noise (not the engine supports, got them checked), I'm quite happy with having the option to save some money when I don't need to score the best lap time on qualifying session... But if it's really that bad, I can live without.
Thanks for the hint, what should I look for, when hitting the exhaust?Loose exhaust baffles or cat breaking down? Have you tried banging the exhaust [where it is accessible] with a rubber mallett?
I'm trying to understand this. If you drive a car 20 miles/day, five days/week, 52 weeks/year, that's 52x5x20=5200 miles or ~260 gallons of fuel, at current prices at least $800/year USD. That's much more than you'll spend on oil, tires, brake pads, and all the usual wear items per year.Gas is the cheapest thing you put in a car.
Well, iam disiponted, if you will came on the table with some arguments yes.Do you really think I should have the system removed? Am I destroying the engine? Is it that bad?
