I tried to get Dansk to work with me to make thosed, some 15 years ago. I sent a set to them, and they weren't interested. Told me whatever tooling they ever might have had for those had long since been scrapped on the instruction from Porsche. Hmmmm

Told me whatever tooling they ever might have had for those had long since been scrapped on the instruction from Porsche. Hmmmm Porsche has always funneled contract work out to satellite mfgs. especially exhaust. In the '70s the HB'S were probably built by Bischoff, Eberspacher, Leistritz, or Dansk. Today the new 991 gt3 titanium headers are US made. As far as qc goes with these new Stoddard repops, I've seen some of the reports + photos here on this thread... not a high qc operation.There is no excuse for sloppy tolerances like this/ then packed up and shipped to a customer. The few exhaust mfgs. here on world, myself included know how bad your reputation will suffer with C- parts being sold. Stoddard is doing the right thing, but their problem needs to be corrected in the factory. |
