And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In the photo, exhaust from the top three headers goes into the exhaust pipe, and out. Also, exhaust from the bottom three headers goes into the exhaust pipe, and out. But then, some of the exhaust from one of the bottom headers is routed, and goes backward, towards the rear of the car, and into pipes that are brown in color. What is happening there?
Yes- that’s a later air-cooled 911- the paper-wrapped ducting is routed from the heat exchanger plenum up to the distribution ducts in the rockers. I don’t think that shaft fwd is a drive shaft. Def tuned headers- bet it sound fantastic- Given the pipes’ center exit & fender flares, my bet is 993 GT3, which are 2WD.
What are we looking at?
ReplyDeleteNice headers. Are they tuned?
ReplyDeletePorsche undercarriage me thinks
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I'll take a '69 Baja Bug.

For me it s the gearbox control rod same as the old vw kafer
Deleteel néné....
Looks like the gear shift to me also. I had Corvairs (the Chevey Porsche knock off) back in the 70s and theirs was similar.

ReplyDeleteTwin turbos I'd guess.
DeleteFor me it s the heating box system once again the legacy of the vw aircooled beetle

There is no substitute.
