It would seem so Mick , but at who's request I dont know, and I am sure they would never have anticipated what would happen mate . So I can't really blame anyone for being tight with the exhaust budget :thumb:

I'll use this information to continue to drive my 997.2 with a degree of mechanical sympathy namely warming up, not racing a cold engine, annual oil and filter changes. And while it is still relatively low on mileage sleep at night
knowing that on law of averages bore scoring could well prove to be a non event but be aware that anything is possible, no guarantees. I got away with it for 60,000 plus miles on my 997.1 so I'm reasonably optimistic with my low miler 997.2. :thumb: whatever happens still cheaper than running an Aston or Lambo!
Now I've got a manual box on my 4S do I need to worry about this Phil?

And so did I mate for many years until James started out on his own doing mobile Porsche services and stuff. I have no reason to think its their fault or blame them, its just an in hindsight mistake for using unbranded cheap aftermarket parts from the Far East , eventually we will learn in the UK to buy things and buy them once, but to do that we need to stop buying Chinese goods.
