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)  |

QUOTE(jcd914 @ Jun 7 2011, 08:40 AM)  QUOTE(Tom_T @ Jun 6 2011, 09:40 PM) 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. Sample of a tip for a 1.7L Jim Jim, would you mind letting me know the p/n off box of that tip. Is it for sale ? Thanks !!! |
