They may be, but they are correct dimensions unlike the Dansk branded versions. I bought one of Eric’s tips used from someone here and it fit perfectly on tje Porsche muffler I bought at my dealer. They also sound different than the house Dansk version. So Porsche is not just putting their part number on a standard Dansk muffler and charging twice as much. It is a very different muffler.

Yes , very different , I question Dansk being the manufacturer .

My '72 has an OE Bischoff that was apparently a factory replacement part installed who-knows-when. Date code is late-74, as I recall. I love it and hope it never dies. Much nicer than current Dansk, from what I've seen and heard. So if I do need to replace it someday, I might cringe at the price but would still pop for the Porsche Classic part.

Back onto the chrome tip topic - what is the best option today for a tip to fit my old Bischoff? Square rolled end would be great, but I could live without if there's a decent, affordable alternative.

Why? Dansk has long provided aftermarket parts and the Dansk branded parts are likely their own design. If Porsche went to Dansk and said "build our classic mufflers" they likely provided the drawing set to Dansk for production. Which would explain the dimensional differences between the two.

Begs the question, did Porsche design the original mufflers and then gave the drawings to Leistritz and Bischoff to manufacture or did those companies create their own designs?? I suspect it was a Porsche design from the off.

Much like the turn signal buckets and lenses.. Just because they were made by Bosch doesn't mean that Porsche used an off the shelf Bosch design.. That is an additional reason for the Porsche VP marking on the original parts me thinks.

Hello.

We would like to clear the air on this thread. It is correct that throughout the years the size of the Dansk muffler was larger than the OE version (60 mm, where OE was 57), and as that was not the correct measurements, we had it changed last year.
Last year we changed the mufflers back to the original OE 57 mm for the F-model. However, we cannot guarantee that some of the dealerships have the new mufflers in stock instead of the old. We would recommend you to check in with the dealer before purchase to make sure you acquire the correct measurements.

For the F-model, we have manufactured a new chrome tip as well with a flat rounding like the OE version. (JP no. 1620705700)

For the G-model we kept the 60 mm muffler, as that is the same as the OE version.

We hope that cleared the air a bit.

I'm going to assume Dansk did make the Porsche parts. It proves they are capable of producing something that is high quality and fits. Now we just need to get them to apply the same attention to detail and quality to their Dansk branded parts.
