So if it gets worse to have it repaired would be the best option for me.

Edit: Maybe Dinitrol 4010 would be the stuff to use: http://www.dinitroluk.com/special-application.php?a=gen&kw=Dinitrol
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just had my C2 Cab annual service, technician reported that the seams on the silencer boxes were showing some rust. I have had a look and the seam has something resembling a "U" shaped section covering the what I presume is a join in the silencers, it is this that has started to split a little.
Question: can this be repaired (say by welding ) or does this mean a new exhaust, if so are the silencers supplied as indiviual parts or do I have to have a complete exhaust.
Thanks

I had the same problem with both my boxes so bought these from PorscheShop
Cost about £700 with new fittings etc. plus replaced my tips for twin ones for an additional £100
As I couldn't remove the bolts holding them, got my local garage to exchange them for small charge.
Great result and, being stainless steel, can now forget about them. Good sound too
This has made me happier, during a recent service they informed me that there was slight rust on one of the boxes, I was quiet annoyed as its a PSE which I had fitted five years ago, car always has good long runs has done hardly any miles with this exhaust and is garaged. So if it gets worse to have it repaired would be the best option for me.

Update ... My garage recommends that we do not attempt to weld up the seams, the rust is early and they expect the exhaust to maintain its integrity for at least another year ( that would make 11) Their reluctance to weld is based around the can or worms theory, great idea so long as all goes well.
They showed me the splitting and it was not that bad, but ....., they did point out small patches of oil dampness on lower trailing edges of each of the cam covers .... they will send me a quote to renew seals, but in meantime as leaks are not major, they said enjoy the car. .. Image
I have noticed the same problem on my PSE exhaust. I was wondering about squirting some Dinitrol (similar to Waxoyl) into the seams. I will read the can first to see of there is any warning about applying it to surfaces that get hot...
David!!
Dinitrol "Metallic" says it is heat resistant up to 130 degrees C, but I'm not sure how hot the silencers would get.

im going to one up you herev
, my exhaust to the best of my knowledge is the original from when it was new in 1999. im impressed its lasted this long but its a good excuse for me to treat myself to a new exhaust next year hehe.
