For once I had a clean shot at 14/15 and no traffic on the front straight so I was really moving when I reached the chicane...which they had reset during lunch.

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

Just wanted to know how long mufflers last before replacing. For some reason my fabs have gotten louder so I'm assuming it's got a hole somewhere. I've put in around 25k miles on it. Regards. Mike

POST 2Original post

Sounds weird, you would think they would last longer than that. If you have to replace them will you get more Fabs or something different?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I haven't decided on what particular exhaust I mite put in but I loved the sound of the fabs but if it only lasted this long mite switch to the porsche sport exhaust. Regards. Mike

The license plate and winglet gave you away.

POST 5Original post

The life of aftermarket mufflers does not seem to be very good. I had a B&B that was pretty well shot after about 25K, as well. Mine broke up internally and externally.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Pete-are you the one with the 996 turbo-you were just one fast guy. Everytime you passed me at turn 15 I wanted to follow your line but checkered flag would come up. Yeah that was me. It's crazy fun at the track. Regards. Mike

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah I imagine if tracking the car quite abit life of the aftermarket exhuast is not so good. Oh well. Regards. Mike

Clipped a cone on exit and it sucked up into my radiator and broke the drain plug right off. If your car got weird at the exit of two or on the straight between 3 and four now you know why. It was my damn coolant. See you at the track again sometime.
