I have a muffler which is primered like the tip. What kind of paint, high temp I suppose, and what color did the original came with ?
My second request. I have seen pics of just the square portion chromed. I like that clean look. Did they have to take it to a chrome plater or can I just use some chrome paint. Let me know if your have BTDT and chime in on how its done. Thanks All !!! Ted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Porsche sold "chromed exhaust beauty tips" for all 3 engine types: -6, 1.7/1.8 & 2.0, but I'm not sure if the 1.7/1.8 is still available, I know the -6 is (same as for 911s) & that the 2.0 is NLA. They are/were all slip on with clips cut/bent in to hold them in place (not welded). You can get a part no. in the PET & call a dealer to check if yours are still available. Don't know about weld-on & other aftermarkets.
Here are some pix from a 72 accessories brochure showing the tips: Here's a link to a -6 tip still available just as an example: http://www.sierramadrecollection.com/store...ate=1&p=558 "Square Portion chromed" ??? If you mean the actual 1.7/1.8 (74) muffler (called "Silencer" in the PET, then those were painted exhaust grey & someone would've had them chromed for their tastes. |
