I know several people who used the same mod as mine on 3.6's with no problems.

Suggestion · Original poster
I would like to be secure in my own mind that simply replacing my worn out mufflers with sports mufflers is going to be ok,

Suggestion
I used 1" x 16swg tube and mandrel bends as shown in photo 1, but if I was doing it again, I would use the same size tube, but fit it where shown in photo 3, as it issimpler and cheaper.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Im aware that some silencers are modified, ie stripped down and have bypass lines put in, then re sealed. I think they are referred to as 'sports exhausts' with muffler bypass mods fitted.
Does anyone know if this can then be fitted without the need for altering anything. Will it give a power boost or power reduction at low speed etc.
I would like to be secure in my own mind that simply replacing my worn out mufflers with sports mufflers is going to be ok,
Thanks.
ps Is this also something that insurance companies need to know and does it affect premiums.
The by-pass sports exhausts aren't stripped down at all. The tube is welded externally.
There is no increase in power, just noise. IMO it is the best mod you can do. [

I've been looking into this and there seems to be a few different ways of doing it depending on engine size.
Pics of the different ways i've seen so far:
Smaller pipe for 3.4? Larger pipe from corner of box for 3.6?
IMO you should go for photo 1 or 3 - both achieve the same result, and you won't be disappointed. Photos 2 and 4 bypass half the silencer, wheras 1 and 3 have a smaller bypass, but to the whole silencer. I used 1" x 16swg tube and mandrel bends as shown in photo 1, but if I was doing it again, I would use the same size tube, but fit it where shown in photo 3, as it issimpler and cheaper.
I know several people who used the same mod as mine on 3.6's with no problems.
Also note photo 3 is a 997 box
best is as said above photo one, but pipework should be between the inlet and outlet.
Just depends how good you are with a plasma cutter / and welding.
Wow, how lucky was i. Bought myself a sports exhaust on ebay for a winning bid of £271. The chap said they were rust free and off the same year car as mine with the same engine size. Drove 140 miles to pick them up and they were fantastic. All fitted now and car sounds brilliant.
Wouldnt normally buy an exhaust (muffler) second hand but this time it has certainly paid off. Yippeee!
