Default 75k mile rebuild update

Well,

It's getting close to completion so I thought I'd share a few more pics.

Here's a picture of some of the ceramic coated exhaust parts (heat management effort).



And here are the powder coated fan parts:



Things are going back together:



And here are the exhaust parts on the motor:



Same thing - different angle:

Ben very neat! An ignorant question perhaps, what's the longevity of ceramic on exhaust parts?

Kolbjorn -

If the coating is done properly and is the right material it should last for years. This is the same stuff that is used on race cars to keep the heat inside the exhaust (until the tailpipe of course) rather than have it radiating into the engine bay.

I had a set of headers done on my "DE track use" 944 and they looked just as good as the day I put them in when I sold the car 5 years later.

Awesome, looking good! But why the rebuild at only 75k?

Thanks Bill,

I'm looking to get a track appliance soon - hopefully in time for next season. I'll miss October - I'm being force to Los Cabos by my wife....

Ben,
I dropped off my car for an alignment with Hans yesterday and saw your car with the parts installed........ Very nice.

You should put a mirror on the floor of your garage so you can admire the exhaust daily!
