I have a 2003 911 996.2 C2 I am curious about the PSE exhaust. The PSE option was to add a pipe to the capped-off area on the muffler and run it into the other exhaust pipe. Has anyone tried to run that added pipe straight out the back along with the other exhaust pipe? Thus having two exhaust pipes out of one muffler.

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.

Well, the Fister Hack and/or Gundo Hack achieves a good sound and nearly the same objective. This is what most folks here do if they want PSE full time, without the added expense or complexity of PSE. I suppose you could try what you are suggesting, but it would be super custom and although unproven, I cannot think of any downside.
But... why? It seems like there would be nothing or very little to gain (power-wise) by eliminating the "Y" into the exhaust tip.
They actually came both ways, near as I can tell the earlier cars had the one that rejoins clear at the exhaust tip, the later cars look like the pic above.. (I have these.. )
The 996.1 had these 996.2 had the ones posted earlier and the 997 PSE has the additional pipe.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
