Wanted: 2.5 Muffler

Randall, maybe you should call a few of the Porsche aftermarket muffler shops, and see if they have one available. You'd think they would have some as "take-offs" from their projects. Just a thought.

I'll try that. The main concern is that they're not like my friends here on this forum... they're out to make a buck off anything and will probably price it far too high for what I'm willing to pay.

Bottom line is that I should at least try... I might be all wrong.

I'll let you know what I discover.

Randall:

I got a great contact from RUF Porsche. They told me to contact Oklahoma Foreign. The phone number is 405-799-0645 or 800-462-2446. The web site is www.oklahomaforeign.com. They are a specialty high-end junk yard.

They don't list your muffler on the web site, but I called, and they do have them. The price quoted over the phone was $200.

Give it a try.

Randall, I called Jay Rothfeld at Fabspeed, and he gave me the following contacts in Texas. They are autorized FabSpeed shops, and may have a take-off muffler for you. Hope this helps:

Thanks!

I think I got one. The guy on renntech.org (Todd) that did the 3.4 conversion on his 98 box has a 2.5 muffler he said he'd sell me for $100 plus hard cost of shipping.

I'm gonna keep these contact numbers just in case though. This deal might fall through.

BTW, Todd said he had a lower boost TPC supercharger on his 2.5 and said it did well for something like 40k miles, but wasn't enough power... so he went the 3.4 route for about 12,500.00 with a used motor. I wonder if the new SC kit being discussed here is any better or has higher boost.
