These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need some advice with regards to replacing my nearside exhaust which seems to have baffles gone. Have seen some used models in breakers yard advertised as 3.6 only. I am sure they are the same but does anyone know this for sure?? Have also been told tip and manuals differ too which I find hard to believe. Thanks for any help & advice given.

POST 2Original post

If you go to any of the Ebay sites, they invariably have 3.4 and 3.6 back boxes, which are different. Try Douglas Valley Breakers - they have a pretty impressive web site (I brought an almost new pair from them at a very good price)

POST 3Original post

Porsche say you can use 3.6 boxes on a 3.4, but not the other way round. Externally they are the same, and will fit withoout any problems. The internal construction is different though, and the 3.6 boxes are slightly louder. Personally, I wouldn't put one of each on the car - best to have the same type both sides IMO. As Rod says, try brakers like Douglas Valley or Porsch-Apart.
