Yikes, another new project to address on the car. Has anyone ever seen this before? I don't even understand how it would fail like this given the loads it should be supporting.

Vrooooom!
Tough weekend on the car - I also had the muffler crack and fail. This is two stories underground in my office parking garage. All concrete, 3.6, and NO muffler. -Steve Attached image(s)

Steve,
I have these on bluecar. One of my fears (after-purchase of course) was that they may fail because they are a cast part. One of the billet pieces or a forged piece (if they exist) would probably be a better choice. |

i really like the Wevo CamberKing monoball housing. investment-cast stainless, good stuff. i'm told they're available without the 911 strut brace mounts but i haven't investigated.
took a while to find the pictures i knew had been posted here, but they are in This Thread halfway down the second page. |

I notice the car is very low. I assume koni's with cut-down or possibly no bump stops? Could this be from bottoming the shock?
Awesome looking car by the way. -Ben M. |

Just point those elbows down at the ends of the headers and all will be fine.

Dont these type of products, because of the elimination of cushening rubber, transfer higher than normal loads on the chassis and are therfore a real compromise for a primarily street driven car?
