My rear silencers have given up after 12 years and I am looking to replace them. Ive seen these http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod4954/Exhaust-Muffler---Silencer-Sports-Porsche-996/ and wonder if they are any good, seems like a very good price. Also, how easy is it to do it yourself? I've heard the clamps turning to blocks of rust can be an issue?? Any advice would be appreciated.[8|]

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.

From what I've heard they don't get a good review, but I haven't tried them myself. If you're not looking at OEM then Tech Art and CarGraphic make some good stuff for example. The problem with the cheap ones are they make a lot of resonance in the car and the flow isn't always optimal.
If you want to look at the cheaper option I would try eBay. As they are stainless steel you will know that they last for many years. Bought mine for just short of £200 second hand with both muffler boxes looking like brand new. Additional bonus was that both boxes had tail pipes fitted and already had the bypass mod done. Other bonus is that vat doesn't bite you in the backside. There are plenty of offers at the moment.
