exhaust

[pauljmcnulty]

Hi All,

Needing to change the rear box, although it does sound mean [8D]

German and Sweedish only want £50 plus vat, has anyone ever tried one? Seems a lot cheaper than Bert at £125 plus, but I don't want everyone to point at it and laugh []

Don't worry Paul we are all too busy laughing at your tyres.

GSF one will last about 2 years.... you may get a little more out of it.

Dansk one from Bert or an imported DanskSport one will last a lifetime.

My Cab has a Dansk rear section, its ok does the job well but does not sound as good as the original.

I had a Euro Car Parts one on my old 2.5 LUX for about 6 years before I wrote the old girloff !
I think the GS one is the same, they are pretty heavy guage steel

 

[944Turbo]

ECP used to do a cheap mild steel one and more expensive genuine one, my lux had a bosal (cheap one) on it when I bought it, that fell apart, replaced with the genuine item, top quality as you would expect and back then around £120.

Could it be that the old exhausts packing has lost it's ability to reduce the sound?

I will be getting rid of a Turbo back section in November, but need it for now

The Dansk was on the car when I bought it & I am comparing it with cars running OPC systems

 

[944Turbo]

There are various options of dansk, they have different part numbers and performance.

for a start.

I believe the 220 & 250 are the same.

Thanks John,

Euro car parts are the best price so far but also found one on e-bay a bit cheaper so might wait and see what happens.

Hi Paul,

I don't know which model you've got, but the Dansk system seems to last forever and be pretty reasonable. Take a look at the suppliers in the faqs section for a few quotes.

I'd not bother with second-hand unless I knew that it was very recent. By the time you've bought it and paid to have it fitted at least a new one should be a one-off fix.

thanks for the info ill take a look and let you know what ive done

Hi Matt
My '83 2.5 has a bracket a little in front of the torsion bar, also I have a new (2004! never used - long story) from Euro Car Parts- £75
I'm in Leicester 5 min from J21 of the M1 (M69 Junction)
My phone no is at the bottom if you're interested.

Dansk seem to be of a variable quality for now it seems. The older units seem to last years whereas the newer units can last months.

In your shoes I would be tempted to buy the new old stock exhaust on eBay (as pricey as it is) or get a custom back box made up via an exhaust specialist.

 

[moosec]

mmm i looked at that, but it seemed that it wouldn't fit an S2?

Cheers

Try http://www.jmgporsche.co.uk/ for a Dansk exhaust. He seems to be able to supply the 'good quality' versions and unlike some Ebay sellers will stand by his product.

My own S2 has had a Dansk rear box and decat for over 10 years and 80,000 miles with no problem

 

[944 man]

944S, 2.7l and S2 use a similar exhaust. Porsche split the 2.7l parts half way through production (as with some other items like the FPR) between the S type and the S2 type, but aftermarket manufacturers all offer a single part which suits all three models.

 

[Mike_Pollock]

The exhaust on my 2.7 is different from my S2, the manifold/ exhaust joints have the bolt holes as a mirror image of each other - much to my annoyance!
