I wonder what it looks like from another angle, it almost looks like if it could brake down the exhaust gasses from that picture.

Looks nicely built......but I'm more of a fan of the twin-pipe outlet rather than the single bazooka style........

He says it was made by Fuchs - the famous manufacturer of the forged Porsche rims. But I doubt this is still available these days - there are not all that many 928s in Germany anymore... (taxed to death, charged to death by mechanics, etc.)

I have sent the guy a PM, but he has not responded, yet. I'll let you know what I find out.

Just had my temporary RMB welded in place. I used a set of truck (deisel) resonator tips and had a muffler shop weld in the connection to the muffler inlet flange. Since the 78 mufflers are NLA, the ANSA mufflers tend to rust (have one on my 78 euro) and I couldn't find an off the shelf RMB this was my only/best option. Sounds great and the cost was around $50 total.

Just found out that the last known one of these "Bazookas" was sold in Germany for 400 Euros. At the current exchange rate that is about US$520.00 - a tiny little more than the $85 I paid for my used RMB on ebay...
