Exhaust Gassses mot failure

[brucemcq]

Hi

I am the very proud owner of a 2005 3.2s boxter s that has just failed its MOT due to leaking exhaust gases (nearside silencer). I have been recommended a new DANSK after matket system from my local independent Porsche specialist circa £900.00 + £150.00 fitting + VAT for both sides from the first cat back, but they have advised me it may be a little noisier. Has anybody had any experience of these exhausts and any thoughts on the price.

Many thanks

Those prices seem reasonable. The labour charge is very reasonable. Suggest you take a look at this link which includes a description of the noise level. https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt63_2406_-cma81-cmo82-ct289/Porsche/Boxster-986-987-981/Boxster-S-986-32L-1999-02/Dansk-Exhaust-for-Porsche/

BTW there is no nearside silencer. The silencer is common to both sides with an inlet at each side of the car.

If you buy directly from Design911 I believe they will allow a 10% discount for PCGB members but your Porsche Independent may match or beat that. It’s worth asking anyway.
i suggest that you will probably prefer the quieter of the I believe two Dansk alternative. I’ve heard many times that the louder version becomes tiresome.
I have the Carnewal GT upgrade on my 3.2 Boxster S and that is the bees knees from a sound point of view. From very civilised albeit with a deeper note to a glorious flat 6 howl when accelerating hard.
The job should take under an hour I think and £150 + VAT looks very expensive.
