Having just replaced the pre-silencer for a nice Dansk unit (OE part no longer available) I now have stainless steel heat exchangers and pre-silencer. When the car was on the ramps, I noticed the main silencer has been repaired by a previous owner and is cracking beyond the repair weld. So, it's now time to get a replacement.
The existing silencer sounds great and has a non-standard 75mm outlet in stainless steel. The silencer itself is painted.
I am torn between two replacements:
The Dansk unit has an 84mm outlet (will that look tacky?) but is otherwise copying the Porsche design. Parts cost around the £400 mark.
The Design Tek unit has a 75mm outlet and is a custom design using 16 guage grade T304 stainless steel. Parts cost £299.
Both units are described as 'sports' or 'big bore' with a deeper exhaust note.
Does anyone have any similar previous experience on either of these units (or others)?
The sound of the car helped to influence my decision to purchase of the car over 8 years ago - for me it's like an orchestra every time I start it.
Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks, Keith.
