[T3] exhaust system question

[David Sanderson <porschedave@rennlist.net>]

<x-flowed>Hi All

I am looking at this stock exhaust system and wondering how much I 
need to keep. Specifically, there are two small heat exchangers that 
link the rear exhaust to the muffler. These are shown on Dave Hall's 
site <http://www.hallvw.clara.co.uk/type3/T3pbo/T3pb2-12.htm > as 
number 8 and 9. There appears to be a washer of some sort that fills 
the gap and ensures that the exhaust actually makes it into the 
muffler. Also, coming off these is an outlet that ties to the fan 
housing. I gather than this has something to do with monitoring 
engine temperature.

On mine, the fitting of these exchangers to the muffler is very loose 
and floppy. I have managed to get one off but cannot get the other 
off.

So, those of you not running a stock muffler system what do you do 
with this component? and ho do you route air into the fan shroud?

For those of you running a stock system, how did you separate these 
components so that the washer can be replaced? Anyone know where we 
might find a set of those in good condition?

Dave
