I ended up using the Rothsport racing pulley for my 993 based engine in my 86’ coupe’.
The pulley Rothsport offers fits within the 3.2 console and is the same diameter as the original 993 alternator belt pulley.
I hope this helps

yes, very, very helpful!
That is the exact problem I want to correct,
I've had 2 different stock aftermarket exhaust setups on the car sine I went 3.6 in 1994, Both have a droopy drawer look wrt to the exhaust due to the 1.25" spacers used w/ the 964/993 engine mount console and cross bar. A third custom exhaust I had fabbed from scratch fit perfectly but is now blown out and the fabricator is no longer available.
It looks to me that the issue is just the tin(modified 3.0 in my case) but several sources such as yourself that use the all 3.2 parts mention that the spacers aren't needed and the exhaust looks normal, ie doesn't hang low.
I want to replace the existing old tin any way so while in there I hope to rectify the low hang of the engine at the rear.
It's
still unclear as to why I can't just remove the spacers when I replace the tin w/ Sheridans f/g versions, while keeping the existing 993 console, bar and pulley. He has f/g tin rplacement for the 3.6 t/p into a 911 chassis, but also mentions the 3.2 mount console and bar.
