The best thing to do is to remove and inspect your mufflers to decide if they are worth keeping.

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'm about to order a set, but I have a couple of questions; has anyone gotten the coating for the mufflers? If so, what color did you choose? Is it worth the price?
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi, I have a set and they sound great. I've owned them for about 10 months now. At the time I ordered the color option was not available. I dont see the point, you cant see the mufflers. The mufflers do retain the factory protection. What is the cost of adding "bling" to them?
I thought about coating them but you can't see them. I thought it was a waste. Great mod though, my car sounds great !! 275.00 shipped and 50.00 to send yours back for me it cost 325.00 total, great mod at a great price.
IIRC there are not many street 996's with bunred out rear quarter panels from overheating
maybe for the track doodz looking to get every oz out of every aspect of the car <shrugs>
The ceramic coating does add a bling factor, but it is more function than form. It reduces the heat that the mufflers radiate, in your fenders and next to your engine, which is a good thing. The other thing is, the mufflers are media blasted and then ceramic coated, which makes the exterior like new again, which will add to their longevity. Some of the cores I get back are not the prettiest things in the world. I clean them up, but don't polish them out.
Is it necessary?...
no
. Is it functional?...
yes
. Is it worth it?....
thats up to the individual.
I hope that helps.

Hi Darin, i love the work you did! i have a question, is it OK for my car's exhaust to do this mod? because the exhaust already used over 90000 miles . i wonder the exhaust will need to replace very soon.
Thanks!
It depends on their condition. The usual issue with 996 mufflers is that one of the internal baffles can break loose (cracked welds) and cause a rattle. I can fix this, but it involves cutting some spots open on the sides and re-welding them back up after the repair is made. The other thing is that they can rot apart at the seems. This is not easily repairable and usually results in a replacement muffler. The best thing to do is to remove and inspect your mufflers to decide if they are worth keeping. You can also find used mufflers for sale, and can use them for the modification.
I hope that helps.

You are welcome!
Just remember to find out what ebay item Ed is bidding on and bid on something else.... anything else. Even if you win the "anything else" item, the odds that it will fit on your car are MUCH greater than the odds that Ed's item will fit on his car!
WORD!
