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.

Hi all,
This isn't my first post but I've managed to forget my login details and it's been a while so I've started again!
Has anyone cut open a 996 NA muffler? I'm looking to use them on a project and want to modify them but I can't find any photos from anyone who has cut one open.
I've found 993, Boxster, Cayman, 996 Turbo etc... everything but the 996 NA.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
Go to the fabspeed website. They have a video there (sorry, I can't remember exactly where) in which they show a cut open 996/997 muffler and compare it to one of their mufflers.
Find my thread regarding muffler noise and someone posted a link there which will take you to another thread whoich has a picture.
I opened one up to fix a loose post/pillar.
Here's another view, although this is from a 997 muffler. My understanding is that the internal construction is virtually identical to the 996 muffler.
