My car is in for service and it was recommended that I have a big service, it's several years, and 19K miles since I had the last one. In order to adjust the tappets, they need to remove the heat exchangers and due to corrosion, they won't be able to get it back together again afterwards. The exhaust was repaired by welding up 3 years ago, so as a 'temporary' repair, it's done pretty well.
A new heat exchanger from Porsche is like £2.5K+, just for one side, so what they suggested is that I do a minor service instead and do the major service next year, which gives me time to source a new pair of heat exchangers, or perhaps a whole new system, possibly for less than one genuine Porsche heat exchanger.
I very rarely do track days, but I wouldn't want to exclude myself on noise should I get the opportunity in the future, although I wouldn't mind a bit more vocal exhaust. Additional power is of far, far, greater interest though, and takes precedence over any noise considerations, noise for noise's sake is not what I am after.
There has been some discussion previously around exhausts, so all suggestions will be gratefully received.
