I checked with Darin first but he didn't have any cores, I wasn't able to send mine in for modification as it is my daily driver.
Leading evidence: 'Check with darin first' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check with darin first' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

People who used the upper port reported that the sound was not as strong as on the 3.6 cans.

Suggestion
I also assume that those who use the Fister modded 3.6l cans on their MKI cars specifically requested these cans(as opposed to the 3.4l cans).

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.

I know the feeling.
The general maintenance and fixes are money spent, but you don't notice any change.
But when you spend money and hear a difference, or feel a difference, it makes it all worth while
Which cans did you use for the mod? Like me, you have an MKI 996 with a 3.4 L engine but I've heard that the 3.6 L cans sound better(even on the 3.4 L engines) with the Fister mod.
I also did the FisterD mod on a 2002 3.6 - love the sound. Only now my mileage is suffering because my right foot is constantly reproducing that sound. I think Darin has stock in Exxon -
The 3.4 cans are the "specific" cans for the MKI 996, however both the 3.4 and the 3.6 cans will fit the 3.4l cars. I only ask because I've heard many people mention that the 3.6 cans(when modded with the Fister mod) sound far better(than the modded 3.4 cans) on the MKI cars.
I assume that if you order these mufflers for a 3.4l car you will receive modded 3.4 cans. I also assume that those who use the Fister modded 3.6l cans on their MKI cars specifically requested these cans(as opposed to the 3.4l cans).
Maybe Darin can chime in here on this topic but I don't think he pays much attention to the redheaded stepchild.
Just got my cans back from Darin and all I can say is WOW! NOW this thing sounds like the performance machine it truly is.
Not that the stock sound is so bad, rather that a 911 that runs well needs the sound that this muffler mod gives you. I absolutely LOVE this mod and can't recommend it highly enough.
Got a new vanity plate ( SCREAMS ) and it fits the car with this exhaust. Sounds completely stock until you open the throttle and then it's party time. Biggest grin I've had on my face since buying the car.
Had a little surface rust on the cans (stock 03 3.6) so I opted for the ceramic coating in the Titanium color. Want the cans to last as long as possible!
Also have to speak to the quality of the welds which were top notch.
If you're considering this mod.....get your CC out and make the call.....
I think of this as the exhaust the car should have had from the factory. Friend has an 03 with sport exhaust. It perhaps sounds a bit more aggressive, but not by much.
Love mine. A no-brainer upgrade.
From what I have read, the mod to the older cans should bypass between the input and output ports and NOT use the upper port. People who used the upper port reported that the sound was not as strong as on the 3.6 cans. I did mine (3.4l) between the input output ports with amazing results. A quite note when cruising with no droning sound and aggressive sound when on the power.
Both ways of making the mods are shown below.
I just had mine done by a local custom exhaust shop with 2" stainless, the sound is simply fantastic. Just as good, if not better, than the Eisenmann mufflers that I had on a previous 996. I checked with Darin first but he didn't have any cores, I wasn't able to send mine in for modification as it is my daily driver.
