Thanks for being so patient, I ordered a set today, looking foward to the install.
Leading evidence: 'Set today, looking foward' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Set today, looking foward' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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 a 3.4l should I look for a set of 3.6l mufflers to hack? Anyone have a set of mufflers laying around in case I do not like it, I would like to keep my stock mufflers. Thanks
a few posts mention 3.6l mufflers sound better on a 3.4l car ?? any truth to this
Yes, there is truth in that ^ statement. I did the MK II mod to both 3.4L and 3.6L mufflers, and the 3.6 sounded MUCH better.
However, it is my understanding that the MK I mod on the 3.4L mufflers creates a sound that is similar to the MK II mod on 3.6L mufflers.
I get that question (3.4 or 3.6 cans) all of the time. My modification sounds great on 3.4 cans as well as 3.6 cans. No need to spend the extra money on 3.6 cans. You will not be disappointing....I guarantee it!

Darin,
I see you charge $375 for the core charge, is this for 3.4 or 3.6 cans
Also I see on your website a 'stage II' thingy, what is stage I ?
I mean are you doing the 'J' shape between inlet and outlet (blue mat picture)?
or opening the '3rd hole' and connect it to the outlet pipe (black mat picture) ?
You could check with a midas shop guy and see if he'd do the job. A place over here I've used for other cars has the girl in front who's just a chasier and the guy in the shop does the midications. Takes drilling holes, bending pipes, clipping cuts to fit drilled areas then welding in place.
Just to clarify, the black mat picture is not my work.
I began modifying 996 mufflers by attaching the third port to the center (exit) pipe, first pic. It is a good mod but didn't quite have the sound I was looking for. I did a second version , second pic, which has a more aggressive tone, which is pretty much the only mod I do now for 996 and 997s. It became my Stage II modification because it was the second 996 mod I did, and also it is a little louder and more aggressive sounding.
He put up with all my questions !! Thanks for being so patient, I ordered a set today, looking foward to the install. Got to fix a small oil leak while it is up on the lift also.
Darin fields the same questions from all of us. Bar none, it is one of the best mods without breaking the bank, and he makes it worthwhile with his alteration to stock mufflers.
Did anybody switch from stage I (pipe from 3rd opening to outlet) to stage II mod (pipe between inlet to outlet) ?
The Stage II seems a little loud, I'd like something louder than stock but not too heavy either
PSE sounds great to me, I don't want anything louder.
