New exhaust for 3.2 Carrera

[EK993]

I need to get a new exhaust for the 3.2 Carrera I am looking after. Needs a new silencer, and pre-silencer.

Prices for new parts from Porsche are circa £1100 - then obviously fitting and VAT on top of that (via an Indie).

Is there any way of getting the parts cheaper / alternate sources to going to Porsche?? Or is it a case of that's how much it will cost, so stop moaning...

Cheers!

Loads of places to look, certainly wouldn't go direct to Porsche for it.
Maybe try some specialists such as Hayward & Scott, you'll get an Stainless performance exhaust probably cheaper/sound nicer to.
Get on the TINTERNET.

Cheers, did have a hunt around on the web & ebay, however have just googled Hayward & Scott.... garage said 'silencer & pre silencer' so assume I would need to order:

and

??

Will give them a call tomorrow anyway, but again thanks, thats loads cheaper than the Porsche parts.

other option for standard stuff would be euro car parts. Rear silencer used to be about £100 from memory a fews years back.

Blimey, Euro Car Spares is very cheap indeed... thank god for Internet forums.

One further question - do I want mild steel or stainless steel? I know obviously stainless will last lots longer, however will it resonate vs the mild?

I will probably only have the car till maybe next April before returning it to my mate (I'm just looking after it for the time being), however he has owned the car since new (its an '89), and will never be selling it, so think should get something that will last longer - as I say only concern is resonance with a s/s system. Thoughts??

Stainless will usually sound better. i had a Danske back box fitted to mine with 84mm single outlet. Looked and sounded lovely. About £270 for back box only.

And to hijack my own thread..... are you heading back to Fezza ownership soon? Am looking at getting a 360 next year, but not sure if I will really be that fond of it after the 355 (being my first Fez and everything)... Hmmm, mixed feelings....

i can recommend http://www.scart-exhausts.com/ang/produits.php?mar...

have a scart pre-silencer fitted, top quality - would have gone for the main silencer if i hadnt got such a good deal on a secondhand dp motorsport one

can also vouch for Hayward and Scott - my brother has one on his 3.2, top quality and offer a fitting service at their hq in essex for reasonable cost - worth bearing in mind of nuts/bolts have rusted through.

Don't know, the link just goes to the main home page. I just got mine through Strasse in Leeds.

I won't be heading back to Ferrari until the Spanish housing market improves and I get some sort of return on the new build that we have just completed on. Not looking good for a couple of years.

I have something else underway to keep me in mischief for now though

Why not pay for mild steel yourself, and your mate can add the extra to get stainless if he will be long term keeper.
I got cheap SS pre-silencer (Cat bypass pipe) and crossover pipe from type 911 http://www.type-911.co.uk/exhaustparts.htm . Dead easy to fit.
