To adjust the backbox, you really need the car up on ramps to get access to the bolts holding it in the frame.

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

So, cleaning my car last week while on hols and noticed something rather odd about the exhaust........the tips appear to be out of alignment Not sure how much but enough for me to notice. Think it is the left exhaust tip (as you look at the car) is poking out too much. No extra noise, no rattles and b4 anyone suggests I have not backed into anything (and the parking sensors would help with that too. Any thoughts ? Anything to worry about ?

POST 2Original post

Exhaust alignment on the 911 is a common challenge. There are 2 things which can be adjusted... 1) the exhaust tip can be adjusted 2) the 'zorst backbox can be adjusted back/forwards as it sits in a kind of frame To adjust the backbox, you really need the car up on ramps to get access to the bolts holding it in the frame. There are a lot of 'zorsts which don't line up perfectly no matter how much adjusting you do.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That makes me feel slightly better although up til now mine had been perfect. What could have caused it ? I know the roads in N Ireland were bad but wouldn't have thought they'd have managed to shift it.

POST 4Original post

a bump/loose bolt/reversing into sheep... :lol:

POST 5Original post

Thank you Polar for showing me the light. I will not look at my exhaust tips. Then I will not know if they need this elaborate alignment.

POST 6Original post

The tips on my Alpina use to extend quite noticeably after a good drive.

POST 8Original post

They are like testicles, one hangs lower than the other. However these Porsche cars can be re-aligned with a socket set to move the shiny tailpipe fore or aft

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That sounds way beyond the limits of my technical expertise, so I'll just leave them and try not to think about them!
