"As far as sound, I think the GT without the rear muffler (and

tone."
100% agree. Like the sound on hte GT with the RMB. I put my rear muffler back on the GT when I installed Ott's X pipe. Was way to loud without it.

This is a stock "GT" muffler.? You can still find them, but it's getting harder.

If I recall correctly Randy Moore had a white 91GT back around that time.? He tracked a 9 fo fo for a while.? Don't think he ever tracked the 928.? The exhaust system on this one looks correct except the rear muffler has been removed and replaced with what looks like a shop made welded in twin pipe setup.? The stock muffler also has two outlets, but it's a muffler so much quieter.? Those two small things after the cats are the smaller resonators that come stock on 928's after 88ish.? Larger resonators were available on the 87 and 88, as well as the GTS (if I remember right).?
Edit:?? Looking closer it appears to be a 928Intl polished RMB (rear muffler bypass) that bolts in place of the stock muffler

Stock GT has a rear muffler.

?This has been listed on Pcarmarket for a few days with no real bids. Looks like the car spent from 1999 to 2002 in Kirkland. Anybody recognize this car or their ownership?
Looks like no wrecks, although it certainly has been used.
GT people: is that exhaust similar to stock? Are there only 2 mufflers plus the cats on GT‘s? Or do they come stock with a rear muffler? Just wondering about the exhaust.

Sharktuner in Portland area?
Alex, the person that bought my 928, is chasing a rough idle. Since it has a Sharktuner chip, perhaps that might give a clue. Is there someone int he Portland area that has the Sharktuner app?
?
I suggested he join here, but in the meantime you can respond here and I'll forward any info.

Odd request.?
Misplaced mine in a couple of moves, so before I dig deep into the recesses of the garage I thought I'd check here to see if someone has some S4 (89)? body side mouldings in black.
Thinking of putting them back on for now since my anticipated full repaint is on hold (15 years now LOL).?
If you've got some, let me know.
Thanks,
Tom

manu-el transmission g28/05
Hey group -
I have a recently removed G28/05 manual trans that I pulled out of my 81. It has ill syncros that don't let you shift from 4-3 and 3-2. Shifting up is fine, but the downshifts aren't usable. So it's a core trans taking up increasingly valuable space in the shop. Great for someone that wants to send one away for rebuild. I think core price is about $300, so that takes it away.
Located in Tacoma.

Feel free to post up a proper for sale ad, there are some folks looking i'm sure.?

Linen is the color I was thinking about.? It's a great color in combination with the Granite Green.
A squirter block is one that has little holes in the bottom of the bore that shoot oil on the underside of the pistons to keep them cool.? For some who build these engines that's a benefit, but others suggest it contributes to the "mist" of oil that is entrained in the crankcase and eventually sucked back into the intake.?
I think there is a VIN cutoff where Porsche quit using these squirters (generally VIN under 1000) so early 87's.?
Also, if it's an early 87 it may have ultra cool, but totally worthless flip up rear wing.? A complex and fragile hinge under the rear wing that allows it to be lifted up to clean the bottom part of the rear glass.? It breaks easily and is expensive to replace.? It has also been reported to rattle a bit so generally annoying.?
If you look under the mounting area of the rear wing you should see some of the hinge mechanism.? Also, to lift it up, especially after not doing it for a long while, it'll take some effort to lift.? If you do test, make sure it's a hinge before yanking on it :D .

Granite Green with linen or ivory, hard to tell ?
Yes, 87, but i'm not sure the mouldings weren't removed for a poor quality paint job.
What's a squirter block?
Updated the headlights to 8" e-codes
The car is for sale if anyone is interested.? Endplay measurements were good.? Has > 125K miles on the odo, but not sure if that's accurate.

Granite Green with ivory interior?? Looks like it's a 87 due to the lack of side moudlings and the early style foglight bumperettes.? Is the VIN less than 1000?? Could have a squirter block too if so.
Nice!!!
Was almost tempted to pull mine out for a wash, but got distracted :D.

?I was driving home today from soccer and spotted a red S4 in my neighborhood that I had never seen before. I stopped in the road to look at it better and saw the home owner cutting his grass. He saw me stop and turned off his mower to hear me ask if it was a 87 or 88. He said 88, and as I had a car rolling up behind me, I told him I had a 85 and ?I’d stop by one day to chat.
A friend tonight said she saw me stop in front of her house…other side…and was yelling at me to ask why I had stopped…but my passenger side window was up and I’m driving a 2000 diesel?
Anyway, she said she’s pass on my contact info, so I gave her my info and the group email.?
