Manifolds and gaskets are the quiet heroes of the Porsche mill – going about vital work, quietly and efficiently, until they don’t. Or need scheduled renewal.

The Porsche owner asks a lot of their exhaust, same as the car’s moving parts, and that’s a lot of vibration. So, if you’re not keeping an eye on the exhaust’s clamps, mounting and brackets, then you may yet be in for a surprise. Prevention beats cure. Check out our range.

Sensors working overtime?

Maybe. Fun fact: The Oxygen Sensor (also known as Lambda Sensor) sits in the exhaust manifold and measures the amount of unburned oxygen in your exhaust. It tells your engine computer to adjust the air/fuel mixture for optimum engine performance and emission control. It’s a key piece. Don’t compromise. Take a look.
