A few weeks back, I replaced my silencers, so had cause to undo the clamps - they were fine and looked exactly the same as when I fitted them a year ago.

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

Looking to change the stock exhaust manifolds on my car as previous owner put on a sports exhaust but left the manifolds as orginal. Whilst in with the Indy I thought I might as well get the sleeve/clamps & bolts replaced as they look a bit rusty. The ones listed on ebay for the 996 are £50+. When I click on the link on what buyers frequently bought at the same time as the manifolds they linked to these ones for £7.92 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/381613485225 Is there that much difference in quality?

POST 2Original post

I bought some ebay ones - they have been fine so far. Admittedly I haven't done many miles with them. I fitted them a year ago when the originals needed replacing. A few weeks back, I replaced my silencers, so had cause to undo the clamps - they were fine and looked exactly the same as when I fitted them a year ago. I certainly wouldn't pay £50 for Porsche ones......

POST 3Original post

Look out for the discounted dansk ones - think I paid £27 for a kit from ecp or cp4l. I trust you've read the manifold bolt horror stories! Budget for an hours labour per snapped bolt! There are 12 - last post on the subject 8 snapped! Stainless bolts or studs are the recommended replacement.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Exhaust Manifolds - Tiptronic Thanks for the heads up on the bolts/studs - beyond me so will just get my local indy terry @ Autotrasse' to sort. Some of the headers I have seen listed for the 3.4 carrera say not suitable for Tiptronic version. Is that something to do with clearances? Any header recommendations for the Tip version. Thanks
