Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
My muffler guy made a mistake and did the mod in the top pic - so we stuck it on just to check the sound........didn't cut it!

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.

The old girl has some competition after 4 decades. I purchased a 2000 C2 a few days ago and I have a few questions> 94k miles, silver/ugly red, well kept, new rotors and tires. Car seems fairly tight to me. PPI by independent mechanic who has owned a 3.6 for 10 years. 13k. P/P
I am inclined to push this car more towards a track day environment. The ppi showed it had been lowered about 2" and had heavier springs at the back. I am inclined to seek out a roll bar, decent drivers seat and a set of 6 points. SCCA approved stuff. Gently used would be great.
After years of hearing the '66 yelling and screaming. I find the exhaust note on this car to be rather ineffectual. That will be taken care of in short order.
No pics yet. Nice to be aboard

Nice!
First pic is a copy of the way the Porsche Sport Exhaust bypass looks (without the Porsche $5k vacuum shut off valves)
Next two are of the current Fister D bypass type.

I think he charges ~$295 to modify your units if you bring/send them in.
I DIY'd mine for ~ $100. Bought the pipe, cut the holes & fit the pipe, then had a local welder weld them in. FD's look much better but mine work and don't leak.
Congrats! How about a few pictures of the 1966?
My biggest knock on a stock 996 is that they are so quiet, new mufflers will make it sound like a proper 911. I'm a huge fan of the Fister mod, I had the work done for $60 at my local hot rod custom exhaust shop. Having had a number of expensive exhaust systems, the Fister is still my favorite sound.
My muffler guy made a mistake and did the mod in the top pic - so we stuck it on just to check the sound........didn't cut it! We took them back off and sent him back to change it to the Fister D mod.
