Anyone know what size muffler clamps I need to purchase? Grazie! :)

Actually you DO have the same as I mentioned. They are visible in the pic where you point out the tab to cut off with the dremel. Yours have come away from the valance a little same as mine have, probably from the PO hitting a concrete stop in a parking lot. Anyway I was curious how you merged the spoiler at this point, caise I see you left these pieces in place. Rob :)

bigrob- You'll have a very difficult time using nuts / bolts since it is very tough to reach up under the lower apron underside (where you are attaching the screws to). Remember, the lip has 3M tape and it sticks very well. The large scews would take an immense amount of force to pull out. If you want to feel more secure, put some epoxy on the screw threads before screwing in and then coat the top of screw / washer with epoxy. On the fender edges of the lip, just cut them to fit as in my pic above. It sort of tucks in nicely on it's own. Have fun! Its not the edges of the chin spoiler i mean, I mean the 2 little black spoiler parts that are on the '04 valance already. At either side of my valance I have a small kinda spoiler piece. I dont think ur year car had them. I may need to show u a pic so u can c what I am talking about.

I may have to do this on my '04 C2. Looks killer and thanks for the pics and instructions! One thing I may do differently is instead of screws, using a nut and bolt with the big washers on bith sides, or a small toggle bolt. I installed a very similiar chin spoiler on my '03 Mustang GT from a Mach 1 Mustang. Basicly exactly the same, but had it fastened from both sides. I feel safer with the nut on the other side, knowing the screws cannot pull out at high speeds! How did you merge the chin spoiler with the 2 black edges at either side near the tires? Thanks!!

Oil Change Instructions

:welcome: Mobil 10W-40 has never been on the Porsche "approved" list to my knowledge. No 10W-40 of any brand has been on the lists in the last 10 years. When the water cooled sports cars first came out Porsche approved oil was Mobil 1 15W-40, and that changed to 0W-40 or 5W-40 or 5W-50 over the years. You are correct. I misunderstood the "M 1 0-40" as 10-40! But my OM says under "synthetic oils" 10-40 and 15-40, but doesn't mention 5-40. I have an '04 996. By the way, killer instructions you have done! Very cool of you! Thanks :) Thanks for the reply! Rob -

Why is Castrol Syntec 10-40 not recommended, but the 5-40 is ? I am just curious. The M1 10-40 is recommended, although it's not available any more. Thanks!
