Today I took my 997 Carrera 2 08 for an MOT at the local garage, non specialist.
It failed on the emissions test and when I went to see it they showed me where it was blowing. It was coming from the concertina style parts of the exhaust. They are really corroded. I thought the exhaust has sounded a little loud from purchase in May but with this being my first 911 I just wasn't sure.
It still isn't anything I would have been worried about, nothing too major, just a nice sports sounding gruff exhaust.
They are now trying to find out if these parts are available separately or not before I take it to a Porsche specialist but I was wondering if anybody had any idea whether they are available or do you have to buy them as a larger build.
I've attahced an image of something similar, it's probably not the correct part for my car but it's just easier showing you the part in an image.
Thanks
Nick
