Just got back into 996 ownership last week after picking up a cracking Polar silver 2003 4S from Kaaimans International in Nottingham. The car is in immaculate condition and the deal included all the major corrective items such as IMS bearing replacement, RMS, Clutch and Flywheel, brakes, belts, coffin arms and borescope etc. I cannot praise Gary at Kaaimans highly enough as he made the purchase a real pleasure addressing everything the car needed, even on a preventative basis.
The only issue I have is that the rear silencers are splitting and one is pretty bad. I had it in OPC this week and they noticed one is very slightly passing and you can feel exhaust gasses coming through. Question is can they be repaired/welded as the Service manager said it was beyond welding, so next option is replacement silencers. If that's the case what's the recommendations in terms of std replacement. The car has PSE and I'm keen to keep it switchable and don't want it noisier than standard PSE. Any thoughts on replacements ?
