They were called Berkeley Performance in Tamworth. They have two Cayennes and a 911 for sale, so they should know what a Porsche engine looks like...

Yes they are manufacturer’s marks. Unfortunately I don’t have a good pic of mine but you can see the yellow marks on 2 top pipes.
Thank you!

I suspect they won't be on every car, I imagine the QC checks will only be on a random sample.

Looks a bit too messy to be from the factory. I would have thought factory applied QC marks would be neat and discrete. Would want to see similar on a few more cars before taking that story on board.

I would check my Porsche but it doesn’t have an engine 😂😂

I think there would be more alarm bells ringing if I did find that is has an engine!
