The old 928 International RMB on my GTS is finally rusting out after about 15 years on the car. Is anyone still making RMBs for the later cars? I'm looking for a black one, so the polished RMB from Mufflex won't work for me.
I got mine from 928sRus about 4 years ago (I think?) but I'd paint or coat the "next one" so you're not here again in 15 years... I just went the other way and removed an RMB from my wife's 85 (it was a home made RMB).
I used VHT epoxy paint from the autocrats store and used the HI TEMP on the pipes and the Epoxy gloss on the pumpkin and plate. Back from Welders VHT Gloss VHT Hi temp exhaust paint Media blasted Before

Why don't you buy the polished one and have it sand blasted then paint it black with some high temp paint?
I may have no other choice. The only place I can still seem to find one available is Mufflex. I didn't want to go through the work involved with stripping and painting or coating theirs.
My original RMB is rusted through where the pipes connect to the stock exhaust. I'm trying to find a local shop that would be able to replace the rusted flared ends that mate to the rear muffler sealing rings. I'll attach some pics when I get a chance.

Other alternative - find a muffler shop that has a bender, get them to fab a new one

I would go with mufflex and then blast it as Jerry says. Then go with Adamant's choice and ceramic coat it black. The black ceramic coatings look mean and has a nice surface texture. Matt black ceramic coating can also look really nice if that's what you're going for...

The people with the ceramic coating may also very well do the sand blasting to get their coating to stick.
P.S. When you find someone to fix up the rusted out sections, then you are left with something that is simply going to rust out some more somewhere else and then we will be doing this all over again.
