Since mine isn't a candidate, I'd need to buy another used exhaust, then get the mod.

There's a decent used exhaust by Champion on ebay now as an option.
Use fabspeeds recently sold around $700 or so as well

IIRC a set of used Fabspeeds recently sold around $700 or so as well.

Suggestion
Changing the exhaust on my mk1 996 was one of the best mods..
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.

Time for a new exhaust for my (mostly) stock 2000 996. I want something louder than stock but without droning. My budget is $1K. I'm considering Schnell and Agency Power. Any recommendations? I was thinking about just getting the bypass mod for my stock exhaust but I think the right side muffler is shot. The car is my daily driver but I also take it to the track.
I thought about it but my exhaust isn't a candidate. If I buy a used exhaust then get the mod, then I'm getting close to a new exhaust cost without the weight savings.
You might wanna hear some YouTube clips of the Schnell first. They are on the quieter side for some. I had these and ended up switching them out for the louder Tubi's.
1000 for a Porsche exhaust is pretty lean. Fister ds is really a good option but like you said you wont get a weight reduction, you will actually gain a few lbs once the bypass pipes are welding in. Try searching the used market for some cargraphic, tubi, M&K, fabspeed if you really want to have an improvement in sound/weight. Match any of the above with 200 cell catalytics and you will be grinning each time you turn the key.
Why isn't your exhaust a candidate? Don't you have the stock exhaust? One of the bypass mods works great on the MK1 mufflers.
Also, why would it be "shot". It's stainless. Details?
Something is rattling around in my stock muffler. Already went down the road of Fister-D mod. Since mine isn't a candidate, I'd need to buy another used exhaust, then get the mod. If I have to go that route, I'd rather just buy new. So thinking Agency Power, Schnell, perhaps Fabspeed now. Want lighter, a bit louder, but something that will pass the spouse test for long trips.
I got the car graphic on my c4s and could not be happier. It's a great growl wot and very livable on the highway. There is some noise (drone) when cruising at 3k rpm. All aftermarkets do, it's fact of adding an exhaust. Cargraphic drone is not bad at all and completely worth the wail at wot
My stock mufflers also had the rattling noise and hence I couldn't do the FIster-D mod. So I had Fabspeed MaxFlo mufflers installed on my '99 Carrera, and I love the sound it makes. I've been on long trips and have heard no complaints from the passengers. I also haven't had any droning as the noise kicks in only around the 4k range, and even that's a nice throaty growl. You might be able to get it around your budget, but then you won't be saving any weight with these..
We have something that fits your cost goal with Rennlist Member discount, passes the wife test and saves about 12 lbs. of weight...PM, call or email if interested.
Then for a slight additional cost, we offer a sound valve muffler that lets you go from mild to wild at the touch of a button, so those times you are alone and want to really hear the car, you have that option!
I have the FisterD upgrades, and recently when my cats were going out, I opt'd for the Speed Tech X pipe with high flow cats. The sound is like silk, and my car just seems to drive better
My Tubi's do NOT drone at all.
There's a decent used exhaust by Champion on ebay now as an option. IIRC a set of used Fabspeeds recently sold around $700 or so as well. Seems to be a good price considering Tubi's and Champion products in general are up there in price usually.

Personally, I would find some used stock mufflers and do Fister D. I love mine - and the price would still probably be less and the sound probably better.
Most claims of HP gain need to be taken with a grain of salt... And I have heard a few aftermarket systems that droned badly. Fister D = no drone!
Good luck!
Changing the exhaust on my mk1 996 was one of the best mods.. FWIW I felt the engine was more responsive and more torque.. Perhaps it was in my head.. But I loved it..
I purchased the fabspeed exhaust after I heard the death rattle from the original exhaust. The sound the car makes over 4k rpm is intoxicating..
Good luck
email me if u'd like. I have two fisters that i never installed & a packaged used R muffler i never used. i will let go all for $500. I do not want to ship, but if u pay for it i might, i think around $60 per pipe-
