Stainless exhaust - what type is it?
Pretty well the only part on my car that is non original is the exhaust.
A PO fitted a stainless exhaust. Out of interest just wondering if anyone can identify it's brand or type? thanks

More interesting is that plastic box around your motor!
Is that something specific to Oz, perhaps to meet local noise requirements? I haven't seen that before. That has to be bad for engine temps.

What is the source of that car.
The box looks like something to control noise. |

PS, get rid of it so your motor will run cooler and last longer.

+2 on getting rid of the cover. I thought the 993 was the only car to have something like this ex factory (the drip tray).
Kevin at K-tec would be one guy to see on the west coast there if you arent working on it yourself.

Man that is a wild looking shroud. Some work went into pruducing that piece.
I think after being on there for 20 years it's a little late to pull it off in hopes of increasing engine life.

How do you adjust your valves with that cover?

I am not sure but I think Sweden had strict noise restrictions.
It is only to late to take it off if the motor has already suffered heat damage. It is a generally accepted to take the diaper off the 89-94 Carrera to. Especially if the new owner drives it hard or is running it in a hotter climate. I would not do a DE with that on. Besides it should help better that beautiful air cooled symphony we all love. Just my two cents worth and not worth a penny more.

there is actually a thread specifically discussing this shroud:
Carrera engine/sound cover?? Remove for concourse or not? pics inside The consensus is that I shoiuld remove it which I am going to do after the concourse event. The car has lived all it's life in Canberra (Australia's Capital) which is a relatively cooler part of Australia. Now that I have purchased it and brough it to Perth which is much warmer I agree that I should remove it. To do any type of work other than changing oil such as valve adjustments you would need to remove the shroud. cheers,
