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.

Ive attached a photo hopefully you can see it.
Thanks
Did you get you exhaust fixed? I have the same issue on my 997. I have ordered a new system from Top Gear . The new silencers from Porsche were well over 2k for my valved system and they also had none.
I’m I have had my MOT today and one box is just about to blow on the corner and was borderline for a pass.
l’ve either got to repair (l think they are the originals from ‘02) or get new.
l don’t really want to drop £2k plus fitting really as l rather spend on other maintenance.
Had a look at top gear one‘s. The Sports Sound ones seem to sound great.
Are they the ones you’ve ordered?
Yes , they are on back order , I should receive mine at the end of the month. Mine was okay in December when I took it for its MOT, phew. If you don't need the pipes and electronics like I did, they will deduct the price by £100 ish. I already have a pse on my car , its just plug and play. You can just install normal boxes and ditch the pse but I like mine , and the Top Gear boxes are an improvement to me on the original. The original boxes, no pgb discount and they are on a long back order from Germany. I am having my TG boxes fitted in early March, its 3 hours labour, I will post what I think when it's done. Thanks for replying.
Where did you get the braided bellows from please. I can get our engineers at work to weld them in for me and if I move the car on, the new owner can return to the original silencers. I have Googled this and asked on the 997 forum , but no replies regarding repair. Thanks for the tip ??
Hi , thanks for the offer , but I live in the North West. What exhaust did you come from, was it the PSE ?
I am having a hard time believing that my PSE tips will fit on the Top Gear exhaust I have ordered. There are two pipes on the PSE into the tips and only one on the Top Gear exhaust.
