The other day I ran into someone who had the same model porsche as me, and he had replaced the stock exhaust with that from a 996 tt.

On a non-turbo 996 the exhaust change will do nothing more than change the exahust sound - 1-2 RWHP at most.

My local porsche dealership says its inadvisable to change the exhaust because the engine operates at such high compression.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, I've got an 04 996 c2, and I wanted to upgrade my exhaust. My local porsche dealership says its inadvisable to change the exhaust because the engine operates at such high compression. However, my experience with porsche leads me to believe that this is a bunch of nonsense, since they wont even change my tires if they are a different rating. The other day I ran into someone who had the same model porsche as me, and he had replaced the stock exhaust with that from a 996 tt. It sounded great, and I think that's the way I want to go. Do you think this would be a feasible/compatible switch? Also, I would like any other suggestions on exhaust systems so I can check those out. Thanks

POST 2Original post

A 996TT exhaust will not fit - totally different engine. On a non-turbo 996 the exhaust change will do nothing more than change the exahust sound - 1-2 RWHP at most.

POST 4Original post

got fabspeeds... have a drone at 2k rpm now. read that most aftermarket drone... beware

POST 5Original post

One would think that that factory guys are experts, (sigh) but they are not. -you can change your exhaust.- the whole dam thing if you want-

POST 6Original post

Quotes source post: 6825511

well I wouldnt agree its a TOTALLY different engine, I assume this "guy" put the exhaust from a 997 TT onto a 996 TT? because a TT exhaust is nothing like a N/A exhaust.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm not sure whether the exhaust was from a 996 or a 997 tt. and im also not looking for a performance boost, just want a deeper/louder exhaust note. I've also heard that fabspeed was good as well. pic attached.

POST 8Original post

Do the PSE MK II mod. Cost $150 to $200. Improves the stock MK II muffler sound dramatically.
