Hello, my name is Bob and I have a beautiful black 944 Turbo which I have owned for 9 years. She's my pride and joy but is starting to get on a bit now and I've neglected her a bit over the past few years. I have plenty of questions and I hope you guys can point me in the right direction to get her looking spick and span again

Thanks for the welcome.

First question is what's the best replacement exhaust to get as my tailpipe has rusted off and there is a small hole blowing by the front silencer under the drivers seat. I priced one from Porsche and it is well into 4 figures! I want a good quality one as I think this is original and has lasted 20 years now.

Firstly Hi & Welcome :wave:

Three sources for Turbo systems one is Jon Mitchell down in Bournemouth & lots seem happy with that. Then there is Simon at ESS & Promax up in Milton Keynes. I'd ring all & have a chat.

Hello & don't forget the pics. JM would be the best place for turbo bits if you want to go faster! Otherwise it's Lindsey racing stateside. I can recommend both companys.

If you do look stateside there a quite a bit more companies for performance than just Lindsey. If you have particulars in mind, perhaps I can help point you in the right direction from over here.
