Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As the title states are all the 996 (.1 and .2) non PSE factory mufflers the same? Are the brackets and hangers the same as well? I have an 02 C4S and am looking for a set of mufflers and hangers. Thanks

Go here and you'll see that C4S has a different part number. http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=202-01

POST 3Original post

Not sure why the different part #. I thought the only difference was the separate, longer, tailpipe on C4S. Try FD Motorsports. They are known for a very popular modification to stock mufflers. http://fdmotorsports.net/fister-exhaust-996/

POST 4Original post

you need to see what that option 660 is, I was told by the parts dept all 996 3.6 from 02 to 04 had the same mufflers, just different tailpipes

Is that true for GT3 (L&R) 996, (not center tip) same as C2? They look identical.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah they all do look the same. Still doesn't seem like there is a consensus yet.

If you find out they are the same, I have a used set of mufflers on stock brackets available from a 2000 C4. PM me if interested.

Yes I bought a set of lightly used GT3 mufflers, sent them to FD for modification and was about to to install them on my AE C2 I changed my mind and went aftermarket when a set of Tubi mufflers became available The modified GT mufflers (while Fisterized) are now doing duty on clubracer6's AE car pre-mod returned from FD side by side C2 (AE) OEM's

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So then they are the same for all 996s?
