Hi Chaps,
As the title suggests I'm likely refurbishing my existing (probably original!) exhaust system over the winter. Everything is just so decrepit it's really letting the side down.
I have mind to do a thorough overhaul from the manifold and onwards. I'm not after any particularly crazy sound improvement and so I have pretty much decided on the standard Dansk offerings or Porsche OEM Motor Sound mufflers (although I understand the OEM items are quite a bit louder than standard - no big deal :thumb.
I shall replace the catalytic converter if required as well and of course the heatshields for the cat, mufflers, heat exchangers and the many sundries I expect to have to have cut off or drilled out. As I shall be doing the the whole system; what is a brief list of the main components I'll need to replace if doing a thorough job?
Generally, am I correct in assuming the heat exchangers are pretty solid and probably won't require replacement? At 1.5k per side I'd like to be forwarned of the likeliness of failure.
Excluding the possible heat exchanger drama I'm budgeting around 3k supplied and fitted for the whole project (likely to be done by Precision Porsche). Is this realistic or do I need to up my game?
