Can these 996 silencers be welded or saved/repaired?
Discussion
Hello everyone - looking for some advice from those who understand welding.
Below are two Dansk "sport" rear silencers from my 996, which I have replaced with second hand standard items from another owner who "wanted to go louder".
The Dansk ones, despite their high cost and young age and mileage, both were removed due to having the same issue. The corrugated "flexi" section failed.
One side has "splits" in the bend where it will leak, and the other has become completely detached at this section altogether upon removal (I have balanced it back on for the purpose of the photos).
Although a bit grubby from the garage, the rest of the units are in great condition. Porsche 996 silencers seem to sell for a lot of money second hand (Porsche tax?) so are these repairable? It would be good to have spares for when my replacement standard ones do the usual thing of splitting along the seems.
What can I do?
