Fixing my Porsche 911 on the cheap… But will it work? | Mat Vlogs

- Last time out we picked up an issue with the catalytic converters on my Porsche 996, so once again I’ve called the mechanic out. As ever I’m keeping the costs down so I’ve picked up some second-hand parts online, and I’ve got my fingers crossed we can get through this without finding yet another problem!

Honestly your show is one of the most interesting car shows out here. One of the best there is.

You should have gone to Carwow.... you could have saved thousands on a new Porsche :)
good joke but actually there are no Porsche dealers on Carwow lol, so matt couldnt actually get a good deal on a new Porsche.
Sounds great without the silencer 😳
Reflection Car Care Detailing ikr
Is the silencer same as a muffler?
I had my 997 4S mufflers completely deleted. The drone inside the cabin between 2000-4000rpm was just insane, ear bleeding. 10x worse then lets say similar modded Scooby WRX STI. The glove compartment lid vibrated like crazy, the AC controls etc. Never again.

But what does it sound like WITH the silencer?
I love seeing a RUclipsr who is as tight as I am
Sgd TV Shouldn't be this tight with a classic 911...just get a new exhaust and cats... Or if used get the newest available... Think the 996 went to 2003.
"Paul has lubricated my bushings" LOOOOOOL
you bought "cheap" 20 year old german premium sports car, repaired exhaust and refreshed suspension and people say bin it because its always broke? i think its in very good shape and all repairs till now are nothing! good luck matt, never sell it
People are idiots they'd rather pay 10k more for a car just so they can save themselves 3k in repairs.

Top man Matt. Nothing wrong with saving a few pennies mate.
That S14 in the background...
Great innit!
Looks more like ae111 levin
Nah, its the pre facelift Nissan S14 200SX
Leave the silencer off! It sounds like a beast! Great video Mat!

Great vlog Matt! Please make more of those. Maybe a full review of your 996... And what about an E60 M5 as you mentioned it when you tested one? That would provide great material for many vlogs, repair, driving, repair, driving, repair, repair...
DeltaDubai03 it will be always parked instead of been driven
I luv the you say we. That poor chap is doing everything. Lol. Great video again. Jon...
Great upload this...one of your finest - hilarious. Keep more coming like this, it’s a double act. 🤣
Keep the silencers off!! sounds godly
The creaking sound might be the “coffin arms”. They are the lower control arms. The ball joint on the bottom dries out. Some people cut a small slit in the ball joint rubber and spray in some silicone lubricant, then seal the rubber back up. However they are fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. I’d do it right and just replace them on both front sides. In the US they run about $70/ea. So that’s $140 if you do it yourself. Only about 1-2 of labor if you hire it out. No need for an alignment if you do it properly. Good luck and keep the Porsche.
no silencers! This is obvious!
The sound is gorgeous
Keep it roaring
You know matt you could play bill gates in a movie.
Kick buttowski he isn't an american though
James Ch It’s okay, we Americans are crap at accents. Most likely no one will notice.
Matt buy exhaust cut out values.. Only costs about £100 get them welded before the silencers then you can stright pipe the car on demand and it costs alot less than a factory "sports exhaust"
huge fan of the show
I see some Yokohama AD08R tires. Oh boy, are they good!
Project cars are so much fun!
Awesome sound without the cats but prefer the more refined burble. Hope you get the other issues sorted 😉
Love the videos 👍🏻
I used to work in Research and Development in 2 of the leading performance exhaust manufacturers and with normally aspirated engines if you run the vehicle without a full length exhaust or increased the diameter of the bore by to much you actually loose some bhp. ( Turbocharged or supercharged engines not included in that statement) so you because of the management systems in the vehicle you’re better off fitting an aftermarket exhaust which will give you the same if not better acoustics and an increase of 5-15bhp on a normally aspirated Car ( realistic figures) plus keeps your vehicle street legal 😉especially in MK where you can get a defect form from the old bill for wearing a loud coloured shirt 👔. Scorpion do a fantastic exhaust for that motor ( I know I helped develop it) 😁
It sounds great without the silencers on. Absolute beast mode.
But I would keep them on if you are planning on doing a long journey. Droning at motorway speeds can be super exhausting on long trips

Love these videos
'Mechanics with Mat.'
Yes! get on it, Car Wow 😂
Paul has lubricated my bushings :)
Matt what you are spending is quite small compared to the depreciation on a new car, and once you get the worn parts fixed you get a lot of fun for the money. Shame you can’t get a G series for the same money any more. If you could do a G series v a 996 driving comparison it would be really helpful.
This was so funny 😂😂😂 make more videos like this.
Cracking lad Paul, he done the gundo hack on my Porsche 997, probably the best £200 or so I spent on my car.
Love your fix
Good vid .... tough mixing porsche and being cheap is dangerous game ...
run without a silencer for sure! and we are looking forward to seeing a video about getting complains from neighborhoods!
Great videos man. You need some Aero. A lip, side skirts, and a gt3 style spoiler
Welldone!
Whose S14 is that in the background and wha do you think of it?? Also just fit a smaller silencer
How about some post 2001 numberplates (with the newer slimmer font) to freshen up the look of the car?
Can we get a review of the car in current form? I want to knowhow the Ohlins is treating you and stuff. Try lubing up your door jams a bit and see if the sound goes away.
"Paul has lubricated my bushings". K den, Mat. Weird way to end a vlog :D
Without silencers!! 100%. Sounds so so so much better - like quite a beast actually
'' lubricated my bushes.... ''
haha I know what you meant Mat lol
Good plan Matt
Do you still have the Porsche Matt? Looking at buying similar... early 996 in blue/camel!
Mechanics with mat !!
big up for the cheapness, love it!!!
Yes, run it without silencers.
what shade blue is this
Time it went up the road Matt, and you got a three year old one, there are quite a lot coming on the market from lease deals.
That thing sounds sickkkk
As long as Mat doesn't run out of money, this series could go on forever... xD
i had a loud creaking , not in a Porsche but all the same , turned out to be my lower ball joints were dry , being as the dont have grease nipples the only option was to replace them , all quiet now ...
For the creaking noises... Get all your suspension/control arm and such relevant nuts and bolts torqued again. Once fitted they tend to settle and re torquing them can make a world of a difference. The only issue is to find the relevant torque specs
Any updates on the 996. Not see any for a while.
Matt, what would you rate porschacraft who you purchased the car from? Just curious about your experience
They've been very good. And the warranty was the best out there. Had the gearbox rebuilt!
Most entertaining car presenter! :) keep no silencers!
You put Advan Neovas on it? Looks like you didn’t scrimp on tyres. Well done mate!
Does Paul know how to work on a 986 Boxster s exhaust
when will the new vlog release ?
This is like hoovies garage 😂 broken again
Jeremy's voice: "not turning out to be very reliable this" :')
Sounds better with no silencer, more vlogs on your Porsche!!!
Big fan Matt - When will we be seeing you on Extra Gear?
Hilarious Vid! Many THANKS!!! And 25 quid is no money :)))! Well worth spent on a 996. More vids please
How many miles has this car done?
I'm more interested in the s14 in the background!
I'm not sure if Matt is actually just your typical penny pincher, or if CarWow are just not paying him enough.
use dry powder type silicon sprays they help in extending the life of bushes. oil type ones generally reduce the life as they attract dirt, which ultimately cuts into the rubber bushes. better yet get silicon bushes ,they r the best.
Without!! Blog is hilarious btw
Sounds amazing without mufflers
I think your exhaust needs some alignment. The left tip is hanging quite low compared to the right. Great show by the way. Makes me wanna buy a 996 too. :-)
Get some straight through pipes made up.save silencers for MOT that will save you money ! ;)
Did the dead cat bounce?
OHLIN coilovers! Hell Yeah!
Weld a bypass with valves before the silencers
Sod all that for a game of soldiers, I couldn't be done with all your problems Matt, good luck for the future mate.
Ohhh that s14 thats across the street!! :3
Run it without silencers ! (Could you in the UK?)
Come on you have 724k subscribers, it's time for a GT3! 😂
Where were you
Paul has lubricated my bushings...
Paul is real funny .. include him in CARWOW
Mmmmm, that S14 Silvia. Don't see many of them around.
Bought 1000€ Mk2 mondeo 4 years ago. After 4 years and 49.000Km, all over europe, I can say, that other than oil and filter every 10K, I have only been required to change a lightbulb!
Is it worth getting the 991 over the 997?
You got a Nice Porsche
I bet Paul's neighbours love him - repairing cars on his drive every day.
Prob not so bad for most of it but revving the nuts off a Porsche with no silencers is verging on childishness...
Personally I do not give a single f about my neighbours, simply because they don't give a single f about me. Mind your own business. You will feel healthier.
Hey I live across the road from there!
Matt, would you recommend buying a 996, serious question as I'm looking. Great content. cheers
No, avoid 996 at all costs. I would have said the same 5 years ago.
I see a S14 in the back 😏😏
You being able to run the car/drive it with a disconnected MAF sensor is a bad thing, usually means the sensor is dead. As far as i know, if you disconnect the maf sensor while the car is running, the engine will stop.
Nice s14 in the back
Oh nice S body... 14? Not seen one in that colour before...
That mechanic really needs to clear that litter up on the corner of his parking bay...
just seen it now, but did Paul bump your door against his van when revving the engine? SCRATCH ALARM! :D
Looks like an incredibly heavy maintenance vehicle!
Wheres your S4 avant mate? You meant to use it as your daily
Why not just get new aftermarket exhaust?
but yeah definitely run without the silencers
I like the idea of "Mechanics with Matt" , you should make it a real thing!
Sounds bloody fantastic without the silencers!!!! Would probably drone like a bear on the motorway tho.
Might be worth putting on the dyno again as those duff cats would kill power
That S13 sneaking in the back
14....
