Yeah, I guess one just has to factor in the condition of your mufflers, if they look vaguely ropey your prob better doing the refurbished Oettle route, if not then use your own

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.

I have recently fitted muffler bypasses on my 996, took me four hours to fit (it was my first time!). They produce a very satisfying roar when you gun it, and I can definately feel thet there is more power there, although there is a bit of lag in the low rev range. You also get a few pops and burbles which is very nice. My ears are slowly melting away every time I get in the car, and the mufflers are just sitting in the garage doing nothing.
So... is there any modifications that anybody can recommend for me to do to the mufflers? A DIY Oettle mod perhaps (although I have no idea how to do this) or mabye I could gut the mufflers (no idea how to do this either). OR, is there any way to stop the damn resonance at 2-3k revs? Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
Once your mufflers are off the bypass is a simple weling operation which links a 1/2" or 3/4" pipe around you muffler
You will need a garage who is happy to weld them in for you
150 pound would be fair
This is all Ottle do for 3 times the price
You could even put some manual valves in for fine tuning
Lots of photos on google as to what to do
NOT TRUE - Oettle also gives you refurbished mufflers that have been quality checked for rust etc AND a 2 years warranty, if not longer, for the price. Your old ones may be rusty and knackered..
Perhaps I am being unfair to Oettle
I was just pointing out that the bypass is much the same. Agreed their work may be more thourough and their welding of the highest coded class.
But I am sure the desired effect can be achieved DIY.
There is another company in Germany who will post back your boxes with the mod done.
Search 996 exhausts.
270 pound plus post 100% positive feedback.
One thousand opplogies to Oettle.
DIY Oettle - there are quite a few threads on here on how to do that, do a search and you should find the info you need. I think I was quoted c.£150 by Tower Porsche (London) to do the mod to my existing mufflers.
