Suggestion

the mounting bracket for 3.6 cans has different mounting points that attach to the mk2 996, you have to use the correct one for mounting on a mk1 3.4 ..I'll run it by my indi..he's got a 996 and 997 at his shop.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So there are quite a few exhaust manufacturers that are coming into the Porsche world....however, since they are coming in late They only list exhaust cans for 997s. Looking at the two, they seem to be pretty darn close in design....so can you fit a 997 muffler in a 996? That would open up a lot more variety to choose from...

POST 2Original post

997.1 or 997.2? 3.4, 3.6 or 3.8 cans? the mounting bracket for 3.6 cans has different mounting points that attach to the mk2 996, you have to use the correct one for mounting on a mk1 3.4 ..I'll run it by my indi..he's got a 996 and 997 at his shop.
