New 996 Owner

[73 Duchess]

Hi Guys,

After months of searching pIcked up my S reg 996 Carrera Manual Coupe on wednesday. Absolutely loving it. Only niggley bit that is bugging me is the exhaust tips are tarnished. Was wondering what my options are here. Tried to polish etc to no avail.
Thanks,
Baz.
P.S. Thanks Ballcock for all the advice Owe you one.

A gentle application of "Easy Off" oven cleaner will probably do the trick

What was Barney's advice?
Did it go something like......
Shake....shake....droool.. Buy it buy it, go--on.gowon, gwan.

I hope you got the advice when he was over the shakes.
Im sure he'll calm down now that he got that [droooool drooool] beautiful blue 993 with hardback seats.

Thanks selwonk, I'll give that a go in the morning.

Yeah, Barney's advice was kind of like "Just go and buy it, you won't look back. Otherwise, the inbox on my Outlook Express is about to implode!!" and thanks to him and various others, I haven't.

New exhaust tips are available from Porscheshop, or, you could even try fleabay!. Easy enough to change over, and a new pair will look MUCH better than trying to clean up an old pair.

A mild tarnishing of the exhaust tips on a 1998 996 usually indicates the latter signs of the rear intermediate shaft letting go. I do so hope you have a good warranty...

Mmmmm...Interesting. I hope not.
