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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I did a search and all the post seemed to be a few years old so I thought I would start up a new thread? I found a set of 997 mufflers with the PSE hack and was wondering if they will fit a 02 C2 996? If so is it an easy conversion do does a shop need to do it?

POST 2Original post

you asking me???? YES and its easy to swap (aside from the rusty bolts) (ps are they on CL.. that guy is an RL member and a really nice guy...he probably would help you install them... or I could

POST 3Original post

with a welder. Torch, sawsall... you can make ANYTHING fit

POST 4Original post

if they are from who I think they are.. they are NOT a PSE hack but rather have been opened up, had the guts removed and welded shut again...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep it is on CL And you're right, it's not the PSE hack but a Stage III hack. So would that make it way louder than a PSE hack? Would it be better to just do the PSE hack on my current mufflers?

POST 6Original post

well I dont know... I never heard them run. But you have the 3.6 cans and can either modify them or have Fister D do it for you. I opted to do a "home" job to a set of 3.6's for my 3.4 and I loved it. One thing you might consider is running them to see if you like them, if not have yours modded..IIRC he was selling them pretty cheap

POST 7Original post

BTW have you done any DE's or Skills Days yet?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking forward to doing a skills day on the 10th!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yea they were on the cheap side which got me thinking.

POST 10Original post

OH - I will be there.... you cant miss me!! (I am the idiot who will be jumping in front of your car at the accident avoidance station)

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll make sure and stop then. I'll be in the seal gray 02 cab, swing by and say hi.

POST 12Original post

the plan is to take my 2 boys, they have been on the fence about going and for some reason said they wanted to go this time ????? I am hoping they get interested in going with me, but understand if they dont. I was even thinking of taking the truck so they could "play" as the car deonst offer much run around space for an 8 hour stent of sitting.... I will see what come of it. Yes for sure, sill say HI ! These are SOOOO fun and trust me everyone has a great time and LOTS of seat time... you will be tired and smiling, then when you get home you will be missing it and wanting more! I also have a DE on the 21st and another skills day on the 31st... busy month !

POST 13Original post

here is a vid of the morning "beginer" slalom I set up...it was my first run with the 86 and I was really over steering just to feel it out... I looped it a couple times too by lifting at the wrong place...a couple runs of moving the points where I make the imputs and she smoothed right out, its really fun to drive! in the last 2 1/2 years I have run that about 20+ days for about 250 or more times up and down that strip... and it never gets boring!

POST 14Original post

I am going to the proformance school here in a bit, and then am going to try to go to the aug DE.. hope to meet up with some of the fella's here! :-)

POST 15Original post

here's one of the "open session" I ran that till almost dark (maybe 25 times) this is a wild ride with a passenger where i had the a$$ way out.. you can hear us laughing... (dont try this your first time out....but its fun as hell!)

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sweet, that looks fun. I'm really looking forward to learning how to "Drive!" my new car.

POST 17Original post

YEA, hope to also... the Proformance school is great.... I think PCA offers a better choice and if you want less cars on the track try the BMW club, they were asking us to come over and fill up thier empty slots last month, seems like a great group with excellent instructors too !

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm really torn. On the one hand it would be fun to get a bit more sound out of the car, I love the way the PSE sounds on other cars. But I'm also thinking about saving up a bit and getting the ROW M030 set up. The car fills tight, but it's still 8 years old with 50K, I'm guessing that a new suspension would make it drive like a new car.

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a sinking feeling this forum will cost me a lot of $$$. Because it's a cab I don't think I'll track it all that much, is the X74 too much for the street?

POST 23Original post

NOPE perfect in fact - do a search on ROW and X73/74 some people have tried both, most have to choose. The ones who opted for the X over the ROW always say it was the right choice and mostly were worried it would be "too much" it's not
