Aftermarket Sportsd Exhausts

[Guest]

Hi all,
I see Scuderia Systems UK are advertising the 996TT Tubi sports exhaust in the latest Porsche Post.
Does this mean it is warranty compliant?
I didn't think Porsche Post allowed aftermarket products in the magazine for cars that are still eligable for extended warranty.

I think it is only the standard warranty that this embargo applies to, not extended warranty

Extended warranty is a standard warranty just extended beyond the factory period at the owners expense, isn't it?

I think there is a lot of nervousness with owners not wanting to compromise warranty but I cannot see Porsche having a problem with an after market exhaust that is merely more efficient than theirs. To date we have fitted over 80 such systems to the 996 Turbo/996 GT2 out of over 300 such cars we have tuned and I do not know of one customer having had an issue. If the Post has a problem with 'non Porsche equipment for warranty cars' they had best drop all the adverts for all the tuning firms as a start.

I don't think for one minute an exhaust is going to jeopardise a TT engine and I personally think if Porsche refuse to honour a warranty because of it they are merely trying to con you out of your right to warranted repair. (I know what the small print says)
And I think Porsches attitude to aftermarket products is just a business plan to try to force people to only buy their upgrades and nothing else. They have proved that by insisting on Porsche only tracking systems in new vehicles now.
