j0hn Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 You can hear a bit of the Gert-magic-pipes here - when we start off. I always wanted to listen the sound from outside of the car. Especially passing by and giving the full beans. But dont like giving away the keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just package the exhaust to be shipped to Gert. Hopefully early next week I'll get the quote for the shipping and finalize payment etc. I was wondering if I do need the bracket kit. What does it include? How much is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it listed for the 987.2, but presumably it includes all the ancillary hardware (except the tailpipe), and you may need some or all of this depending on the condition of your existing exhaust. There are 4 clamps and corresponding nuts & bolts, and a sleeve which joins two of the connecting pipes. There are also 3 studs & bolts and a gasket where it connects to the exhaust manifold. I can almost guarantee that the stud bolts will be completly corroded and what’s left of them will need forcibly removing. I would see it as a good opportunity to renew all these bits and pieces.

Ale_72 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Studs and bolts for sure will be in miserable conditions... I was just curious to know if all these things could be available in the garage (not Porsche) that will install the exhaust or if I should take already the kit (that is not cheap, at least looking at the 987.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I wasted my money, I got the 20 Euro one and it really did just have odds and sods in it (Lee would know the full details) apparently the brackets I needed for it all to look good are the ones either side of the tail t-piece, I suspect they would be in the 70(?) Euro kit - I'm pretty sure I saw he did two, but I was a bit tipsy... Lee reused the existing clamps and functionally they are fine, but just look old. I never look underneath so doesn't bother me. If I were you I would get confirmation of what is in what kit from Gert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a bit careful as I am pretty sure the clamps either side of the tail pipes are £70 a pop and you will need two. So if Gert's bigger kit includes them, its at least a 50% saving, so one tank of decent petrol..! Much respect on the Morgan BTW... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale_72 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah, right. For sure I'll check upfront, most of all since I do not want to remain blocked during the job. Violet (the Morgan) says thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
