To those who have installed a dual exhaust:

Did you buy the "correct" piece and have it painted or did you cut your bumper? If you cut, are you satisfied with the look or do you wish you had bought the pre-cut piece?

Thanks!

 

In our cars cutting is not a good looking option.... best to buy just that side with the opening in it. imho of course...

 

I got the left bumper wing from FVD, also need the 965 Turbo heat shield with dual outlets.

 

Mines a track car, it was just cut. For a street car I would buy the correct piece.

 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the heat shield also has to be re-cut on the L/H/S,. When replacing the three aft heat shields two years ago that was one of considering factory replacement options, with or without the exhaust tip bore, the L/H/Side is different then the R/H/Side. Advice do it correct, things get very hot under there,. Free advice from,. and,.( pingo you are right, I only just saw your post)

 

if you look at the 964 tip heat shield , you will see it is a piece bent , trimed and rivetted on .
when i fitted mine , porsche uk were quoting 180.00 (ish if i remember) and 6 weeks wait as they had none at stuttgart and would have to "make" one ..........................................

guess what i did !!!!!

i bout my side piece from design 911 , got a deal when i bought the fabspeed .
they're all fibreglass as far as i know , and this one fitted ok after a bit of trimming by the bodyshop .
you have to drill rivets etc. on your original one and drill holes in the new one to fit support piece etc.

 

I bought the piece. From FVD I think, but maybe Performance Products

 

I had mine cut.

 

Hey Zico, once again, the best phoyographs!!.. Thanks again for yesterday, that was super!!..
Marc and Chris, he always says, "bon jour a toi"...

 

Since you are on the subject of heat shields, have any of you had issues with rattling heat shields during idle? Mine comes and goes and i can't sem to tighten them enough. before I bring it to my shop to have them look at it, any suggestions I can do myself?

 

Nice tips! What exhaust system do you have in there?

 

Beyond the body screws, I can only say have a good look and feel, there are other under body panels that can rattle at tick over,. It’s very hard sitting at my desk in France to help you, but ask a friend to help, one behind the wheel and one underneath aft, looking and listening, good luck!!..

 

I had a rattle at idle that i thought was due to a heat shield but turned out to be a brake rotor shield that was loose.

It's the Fabspeed dual outlet muffler.

Thanks Marc, never thought of looking beyond the heat shield. It could be the rotor shield. The noise goes away as soon as I am moving.
