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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just picked up my first 996 C2 Cab from 2000 yesterday from Porsche in Bamberg in Germany. I had the dealer to modify the sportsmuffler with a button inside the car so I could go to normal and sports mode. Well all that is working but in the beginning the dealer promised me that I could have the original mufflers with me, but when I picked up the car he told me that they where used "inside" the new mufflers and therefore gone ............. Is that right or is he just trying to keep the original mufflers for him self ?? Besides that the car is SUPER......pics comes later.

POST 2Original post

The Porsche sport mufflers replace the original ones. The dealer must have kept them.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does that mean that the built in button in the cockpit just bypasses some part of the muffler or what ?

POST 4Original post

Yes. The dash switch operates a bypass valve built into the exhaust pipes. Look here for more info: http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96059.htm

POST 5Original post

looks like a stock muffler gutted out. with a bypass valve, but what for. it doesn't really produce more HP.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay, thanks alot. Think I better give the dealer a call. What would the original mufflers be worth ?

POST 7Original post

Why, do you know a muffler system for the 996 which does?

POST 8Original post

A set of used original standard mufflers? Probably not much. But, the dealer could use them to replace damaged ones.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
