Suspected cause
saw some bypass pipes here in the classifieds, i think there is also one set on 6speed more than likely the same person.
Leading evidence: 'same person' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion
Also, with the muffler bypass pipes, is there more piping that is needed to fill the gap of where the mufflers go?

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 wish to do this mod on my 996 but there seems to be two versions. #1 connects between the inlet/outlet, and #2 connects the third plug opened to the outlet. Which is correct or any +/- to either?
Thanks
I have the mod#2, I really like it, plenty loud enough at wide open throttle.
I think mod#1 is louder, not sure it is needed. I think you can't go wrong either way, about the sound.
But I think the mod#2 is easier to do. I mean you can't mess up the alignment of the new pipe. while for mod#1, you could put it at the wrong place and could be a problem to fit under the fender.
Reader what FisterD had to say, the mod#1 is best on older muffler, and mod#2 better on newer muffler (the one with the little accordion on them)
I was driving on I-70 at lunch time today thinking about how great my 996 with Fister mufflers sounded... and then I ended up side by side with a 997 GT3RS. My 996 sounded tame in comparison!
Aside from buying a GT3RS, it's hard to beat the Fister sound...
+1 for Fisters....I don't think anyone has ever said a bad thing about the choice.........it is always, always nothing but positive feedback. Darin is great to work with and his work is simply outstanding. Maybe you should see if someone in you immediate area has done it......you will love the sound/mod!
+1 on the Fisters. I got #2 and lovin' it.
Tim, I'm workin' on Olson mod for Honda mufflers....hold on. I'm shooting for a whistle thru cotton kind of sound.
What do you think?
Thanks for the information. FisterD it is. I am trying to score a set of mufflers to send for the mod as he is currently out of cores and 3000 miles away.
Not to confuse things here, but be careful when referring to mod #1 and mod #2 when you talk with Darin (Fister).
In this thread mod # 1 is intake to outlet and mod # 2 is sealed end to outlet.
Darin's mods are reversed, number wise. His #1 is sealed end to outlet and his #2 is intake to outlet.
Just mentioning this so you don't end up with the wrong mod.
I think the 3.6 mufflers work best with sealed end to outlet mod, while 3.4 mufflers work best with intake to outlet mod. I have 3.6 mufflers and went with sealed end to outlet and love the way it sounds.
I have the 3.4 mufflers and went sealed end to outlet and tbh, quite disappointed in the sound. Was hoping to sound much louder like a lot of the youtube videos I have seen. The only difference I noticed is a slightly faster throttle response. So, at this point, I am now considering muffler bypass pipes. I spent $240 to have a local shop do the work which was 2 hours of labor along with the tubing (2-1/4"). I had him do all the work there since I have no where to do it.
Anyone know of someone wanting to get rid of their bypass pipes for cheap? Ship to 91502 zip? Thanks!
Yeah I saw them and he PM'd me...if they're from MadeInPorsche. I also saw some from jzarabbi and have not heard back.
spinerep622: I clicked on your link and I do not have access so I cannot see what you're selling. Also, with the muffler bypass pipes, is there more piping that is needed to fill the gap of where the mufflers go?
Thanks!
