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.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortunately I've just lost the offside exhaust tip from my 996 Targa. It dropped off the car last weekend enroute to annual service...& didn't hear a thing! Anyone out there have one...it is the chrome single oval type fitted OE on the 2002 996 Targa & other Carrera models. Maybe someone out there has fitted after market & has an OE set of tailpipes sat in a garage? Any help appreciated. Am looking on e bay & at the usual breakers aswell. Also posted on wanted forum..thanks for reading. Dave S _____________________________

POST 2Original post

I've just looked up the price of a new one. No wonder you want to find a second hand one!

POST 3Original post

Hi I have 2 of these of my 996 C4S, PM me if you are interested, some. Will take some pics over the weekend. Brad

POST 4Original post

Just had a thought are your ones with the small exhaust pipe included or just the tips, they are different between standard Carrera and C4S.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Brad Thanks for your reply. Will be v interested if they are the right ones. Mine are oval chrome & clamp onto the exhaust down pipe. I've posted a pic. Dave.

POST 6Original post

Hi, I think my tips are different from yours as there is no pipe attached and I have tried sending pictures but they keep coming back so don't know why. 996 C4S is only exhaust tips with no pipe attached.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Brad..thanks...you are right. Mine have the link up pipe attached so yours won`t fit. Thanks anyway! Dave

POST 8Original post

Sorry I could not help they are surplus to requirements if any one else is interested!

POST 9Original post

I have these original Porsche parts available, not sure of the applicable years so you would need to check. Sold as a pair £100 plus Postage.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks..I suspect from the date of manufacture they are off a 3.4 & therefore may not fit a 3.6 car? The part no listed by PORKA above is 996.111.252.59. Maybe the good Mr Hamilton can advise please? Dave S

POST 11Original post

Yes, Alan's are for a 3.4. The difference between the 3.4 and 3.6 tips are that the pipes are a little longer on the 3.6, because the rear PU is a bit deeper.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard. Will the oval single chrome tail pipes off a 3.6 997 fit the 3.6 996? Have a potential offer of a set at the right price. Regards, Dave

POST 13Original post

These guys do some really nice tips http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalog/porsche_996_performance_exhausts.html Varying from 85.00 plus VAT Based in Birmingham close to the M5 Two cheaper types 996 3.4 and 3.6 Speak to them they may have a second hand original

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard...thanks..they are fairly local to me & they fitted my Carnewal OE "tweaked" silencers a couple of years ago. It's the clamp they fitted that has rusted & let go but I will call them! Thanks. I will pursue the used 997 option I've been offered if I can get a steer they will fit. Should get a part no later today. Dave

POST 15Original post

Cant believe how the clamps rust up fitted 7 months ago I need new ones - should have fitted stainless

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Richard, Indeed! My new silencers were only fitted 2 years ago & the clamp gave up on the exhaust tip. Good news today as I've sourced an OE replacement free gratis..happy days. Just starting to prep for my annual Le Mans trip so want my car fully sorted for the trip. Thanks for everyone's input.

POST 17Original post

They won't fit I'm afraid. The silencers and tail pipes are a different arrangement on the 997.
