Yes James - it’s a sport cat so probably not quite as sound quashing as an OE one (probably as a result of the frankly eye watering price) and it has a stainless primary box behind the bumper (it has a 964 stamp on it, but not sure that stainless would be standard)

I must be getting old - or have just spent too much time in noisy industrial environments - because I reckon a stock 964 is plenty noisy enough as it is!

.. i've now got a cat delete and g pipe ... its was borderline in spain when ragging it with the windows open.... wife hasn't been in it since this mod so our trip to the ddk2 event this coming weekend will be interesting to see if she notices . Windows up to be fair is fine

Only if they are crossing the road….

Tonight I did a couple of odd jobs. I removed the OSR wheel ready for my tyre man to refit tomorrow and fix a slow puncture at the rim that I found in a wheelbarrow of water. This allows me to get under the car to identify a small leak from a different place. Found it - the main oil inlet on the back of the case that if you remember had been welded up to repair a whole in the case when I bought it is weeping through the threads. My fuel / oil thread sealant will deal with that at the next oil change, but at least with everything else clean I could find it. For a 964 engine, it’s minor




I refitted the cill cover as best I could but they are knackered and gappy. Started looking at replacement options.

Finally replaced the airbox mounts, here is the knackered one. Anyone that has worked on a 964 tries to avoid removing the airbox as they weren’t designed with maintenance in mind….




- found these brilliant mounts on eBay which instead of being a round rubber mount feature a 19mm hex



Job done - plan is to take my dad to a car museum at the weekend in it (c100 mile round trip) whilst you guys are out and about

Alas he is doing the journey back down south Sunday and his wife would never speak to me again!

Have a good one though - enjoy

After 6 hours in my daily today for a meeting in Newcastle I was rather hoping that my Jiffy bag would have arrived containing a new seal - it hadn’t.

So to heck with it - out the heater tube back on and connected up the sensors and took it for a blast. My my it’s loud! Strangely the slower you drive the louder it is - it does feel a bit anti social but maybe I need to recalibrate. I’m going to leave it for a bit and see.

The good news, however, is that this is what the engine looked like after a 20 mile run - exactly the same as when I left! Finally, leak free…..

it should in theory be same loudness as mine and I find it ok. Wife only commented once this weekend , whilst in heavy traffic on the M1, window open , sound bouncing off the other cars etc and me in 2nd at a constant rpm she did ask why it was so noisy and could I shut the window
