Suggestion
That being the case, I can see no reason for the GT3 mufflers not to fit a 996 unless the bracket is different and if so that can be unbolted and replaced with your stock one.

Actually, I�ve been running bypass pipes since mid may, but wanted a setup that I can run with the stock tips.

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

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.

Stock Mufflers � $50, Pick Up Only; Cary NC
Tips and clamps are
not
included; only the cans
I am almost positive they are the same mufflers as the MK2 996. I can snap a picture or 2 of the part numbers if needed in a couple days.
this is LOVE people... if you are thinking... even a tiny bit about doing your own FisterD hack,..... this is a good as it will ever get -
way to pay it forward Scott!
Damn that is a sweet deal......and the muffler brackets with the 3 studs included too?
It would be worth the drive to pick those up and do the hack are send to FisterD.
GLWS!
PM sent! Now just need to know if they fit my 996 C4S.
Anyone?
Thanks!
2003 C4S Coupe in the shop still hung over from the "drive" off the transport truck. And no, I still have never driven the car.
Funny how that works. I heard the same about the GT3 Cat Bypass pipes vs the 996 cat bypass pipes.
I went ahead and installed the GT3 cat bypass pipes onto my 996 and they fit perfectly between the x51 headers and the Fabspeed mufflers. That being the case, I can see no reason for the GT3 mufflers not to fit a 996 unless the bracket is different and if so that can be unbolted and replaced with your stock one.
Cheers,

I got your separate message.
I can't say 100% that the mufflers are identical due to not knowing the part numbers, but again, I can't imagine they would be different. Conventional wisdom says they are the same. I looked for part numbers tonight and could not locate them on the cans.
For $50, give it a shot.
To clarify your statement in your note, the engines are not identical between the C4S and the GT3, if that is what you were saying.
Re: condition; they are fine, only ~13k on them; no cracks, dents, dings, etc
