Title: Porsche Stuff brand, ever heard of it? Post by: alex d on October 02, 2015, 19:07:04 pm I'm pretty sure Porsche was not very happy about that name...guess they didn't stay in business for long? This is what I got in the mail today ;D
The header has a large flange, it reminds me a lot of the Ansa exhausts except for the non-flared tip has any of the oldtimers seen these before? The text in the instructions makes me think this was written in 68 (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1411004.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1411005.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1411003.jpg) Title: Re: Porsche Stuff brand, ever heard of it?

looks like part number 126 is actually for a bus ??? hope it can still fit a bug without hitting anything (http://derwhites356literature.com/07PStuff.jpg) Title: Re: Porsche Stuff brand, ever heard of it?

Post by: alex d on October 26, 2015, 15:59:07 pm well, in the end it did fit the beetle, I like how it sits nicely tucked actually
I didn't get the header to seal properly with the heat exchangers, the header is pretty much a straight pipe, not flared like others, so those #### donut seals don't have a chance to seal anything!

Title: Re: Porsche Stuff brand, ever heard of it? Post by: alex d on October 28, 2015, 11:26:01 am looks like it's supposed to use one piece clamps in the same way that the old 25hp mufflers did, so I'll try that first, I'll avoid pulling this f###er again if I can ;D
