Does anyone have a good pair of manifold/heat exchangers, mine have died and filling the car nicely with exhaust fumes.

Thanks Pete,
I checked Stuttgart Exchange first, then loads of places advertised on the web, some have prices some dont. Also I have only had the porsche since last summer so I dont know the companies to avoid, ie advertising gear they dont stock so you end up waiting weeks, or send the wrong parts and have probs getting exchanged, you know the stuff I mean. I hope I get sorted quick or I will be carbon monoxied to death Cheers Craig |

Type911 are good guys. They only sell new, so it won't hurt to give them a call and see what the damage would be....

The world of porsche exhausts!!
Why is it presumed that if you have a porsche your drowning in cash!! Loads of firms advertise stainless exhausts with P.O.A on the 911, but with prices for most other cars, when you phone them most seem to think you dont have any mechanical knowledge or skills trying to explain the expense is due to design. Apart from the heat exchangers there is nothing "unusual" about the system. I worked in fabrication for 25 years, there is nothing special about the design or fabrication. Rant over, Steve I eventually settled on Type911, cheers for the reccomendation. The fella I spoke with was spot on, straight talking with no "bull" I settled on a full sport`s system in stainless steel, made by Dansk. Although steep at £1500 which is about twice what I wanted to pay, it is complete with all gaskets/joints new header nuts/bolts ect. I found with some suppliers, the advertised price didnt include delivery or gaskets and the new nuts/bolts. So I am expecting delivery sometime this week, lets hope its as good as described. Craig |

Cheers Hu, sounds like I`ve made the right exhaust desicion then. Yeah I agree Matthew was great to deal with,its a good change to speak with someone who knows what they are talking about and not just selling something they have no experience of. I will definately use them again if the exhaust turns up as described this week.

well its been a while since the last exhaust post, the system did come as expected. All was fine apart from someone somewhere dropping the silencer box and putting a flat spot on the tail pipe, never mind I took the worst of it out. After umpteen months its spot on, not too loud that I cant drive to and from work with ringing ears but a bit louder than standard especialy at low revs where its quite resinant, all my neighbours know when I am in from night shifts put it that way.
