I don't use a "j pipe", and use a much larger pipe then the first version of PSE.
Use nipple part of the muffler and connecting a pipe

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.

Chicago - you are going to love the sound. They will actually get a little louder and deeper sounding after you have driven them 300 - 500 miles, which helps the new pipes "burn in."
thanks dudes. Supposedly the cans have less than a 1000 miles on them since the owner got a custom SS exhaust and these just sat in his garage. I'm leaning towards Stage II after hearing them on uTube. Emailed Darin about drone on Stage II vs Stage I, and he said that it wasn't a factor. He also prefers the sound of IIs better, so I'm 99% leaning towards II.
Long story short, I no longer have the cans and am again searching! I bought them on eBay after someone else won them, who ostensibly was from Canada. Seller didn't want to ship to Canada so he offered them to me and I took them! Now the original "winner" is threatening to sue the seller b/c he wants the cans shipped to upstate new york (not Canada), so the seller has asked me to help him out and being a sucker that I'm, I've agreed. So I'm again searching
Seller sounds like a real decent guy who is in a tough spot now. That's why I have agreed to back out. Will keep my eyes open for another pair though $125 (including shipping) for almost brand new cans was a good deal!
I have a lead on a set locally here, I emailed him. He has had them for sale a few times over the last couple months... asking $250 for headers, cans and tips... but not sure the model (3.4-3.6) or the age, I will follow up if they are a good fit for you and NOT for me
Ed
Ed, if the mufflers are 3.4L, then don't bother. I first did the MK II mod to 3.4L mufflers and, while it was better thatn stock, I was rather disappointed in the sound. However, when I did the MK II mod to 3.6L mufflers, teh sound was dramatically different and MUCH better.
FYI
OK, that is more commonly known as the MK I mod, which is how Porsche made the true Porsche Sport Exhaust mufflers in the early 3.4L mufflers. This is also known as the "J-pipe" mod.
Porsche later switched to the MK II version which was done using the nipple part of the muffler and connecting a pipe to the outlet (exhaust tip) pipe.
I have not heard a MK I (or Stage II in Darrin's terms) mod in person. I have heard a couple of clips and they sounded very much like the MK II mod on 3.6L mufflers.
My Stage I and Stage II.
Stage I is connecting the unused port on the can to the outlet pipe. Only works on 3.6 cans.
Stage II is connecting the inlet and outlet pipes directly. Works on 3.4 and 3.6 cans.(3.6 is preffered).
Stage I is a rather mild mod, Stage II is louder and more aggressive.
First pic is Stage I, second pic Stage II (on 997S cans)
on your stage II, the cross pipe looks kind of big... I thing they would be too loud for me, I am hoping for the same mod but with ~3/4" - 1" pipe so i dont get too much....
my $0.02
You'd be surprised. It isn't loud.. just sounds
much
better.
When you are on the throttle it sounds more agressive. If you drive easy, it sounds mellow.
