Hi all,
I will start of by introducing myself. I have recently purchased a totaled 2000 porsche boxster 2.7l 5 speed. This is my first porsche and it has been a blast tearing into the car. I have found it very easy to work on, thus far and I am looking forward to the first test drive! That said I expected to find some damage but the one item I have found is an issue that I am not sure how to fix.
The car had an impact from the passenger side rear which pushed the exhaust system up. As i dismantled the exhaust and damaged suspension, I found the top passenger bolt hole on the transmission for the exhaust hanger has been cracked. outside of finding a used transmission case I am looking for additional options (if possible).
In the photo i have indicated the cracked bolt point with red.
I am planning to replace the stock exhaust with an aftermarket system to drop weight and reduce the load being applied to the transmission mounting points but I am trying to work out the best way to hang the exhaust so I do not have to utilize the broken bolt point. Does anyone on here have any experience with a situation such as this and any guidance would be very appreciated.
