Exhaust costs for 996TT
Discussion
seen a 996x50 for sale. Looks to be a nice car but it has a non-standard exhaust on it so according to Porsche wouldnt be eligable for a warranty (and I specifically asked if that would just invalidate the exhaust bit of the warrenty. They said it invalidates the whole thing). Also car has PCM1 (which in istelf isnt an issue) but would need upgrading.
Any ideas on costs to bring this to a warrantable level and what cost to sort out the PCM1 to something better that would be saleable in 8ish months? I have been told £1.5K-£2K for the PCM issue - no idea about the exhaust.
Also, worth doing? Car has 32K miles and is £50K.

Hello
If you modified the pcm1 then warranty is still voided......(even though that item is not covered) !!!
The exhaust system can be put back to standard,i have one off a GT2 done 7K
Would be open to offers on the exhaust system.

Mark,
This one`s been around a while mate. I looked at it months ago & so did a few others that were looking around the same time as me.

Yes, before you start everyone its got PCM1, but its manual, black, low miles and X50! - may be a deal to be done???????????? Get it serviced, warrantied up and away you go...The price he`s asking is nearly OPC money.
IMO - Maybe around 53,000 - but all depending on the Present condition of the car and the miles dont seemed to have moved for around 4 months
Cheers

Hello Mr. Poles,
Whats happening with your car/going down the GT2/GT3 route yet?
Yes he was using at his own car at the time. As we`ve both said he`d paid 56k for it in the trade(the dealer`s words).
When I viewed it, there was 22,000 miles on the car. It needed the alloys doing, a few chips, serviced and a Porsche Warranty.
At the time he would`nt come down in price. Its was nearly OPC money IMO.
So at the time you needed to spend money on it.
I have been informed that ther`s now around 30,000 miles on it and still needs work doing to it.
Still up at original ticket price of 56,999....May be needs to lower it to around 52k to get a bite.
Nice car though.
May be some one will get a deal - Or is the dealer to in love with his X50
cheers

when i looked into changing the exhaust on my porsche i spoke to reading and they told me that changing the exhaust only effects that part of the warranty plus anything directly linked to the exhuast not the whole thing. they even suggested that i contact the porsche owner's club for recommendations as to what exhaust to buy...
Hi stevie f
Change of plan again , was out in it all day friday and sat and to be truthfull i'm concerned that the dispite me wanting the rackday focus of the gt3 i will get fed up with it driving it around town at times , so i have come up with a cunning plan for noww hich may give me what i'm looking for in the turbo. anyway no one seems intrested in it anyway at the moment, shame as someone has missed out on a realy well sorted car.
You at home at the moment ?
