Somebody is selling 997 cats out of a low mileage car on ebay for $250 (both!)

Do anybody knows if the cats will work on a 996?

Thanks! picking the car tomorrow!

 

Joel,

Go to Fabspeed and look at pics. and application. Or call Fabspeed to see if 996 & 997 have the same plumbing.

 

997 Cat Pipes are diffrent from 996... It wont work...

 

Really? Can I ask where you get that info from?

 

The Pipe Moldings are diffrent from the 996... thats why you cant swap 997 Mufflers into a 996, Unless you do a little Customs Cuting and Welding...

I knwo this because one of my Cat had givin out about 3 months back... Had it replaced under Warranty and i asked my Service Rep if they put the 997 Cat-Pipes... He said they are not Swapable because the They are diffrently Molded

 

I think your service guy fed you a line. Wouldn't be the first time. At least for the aftermarket folks the 996/997 cats and cat bypass are interchangeable. Same thing with the heads. I am pretty sure the reason the 997 mufflers don't exhange with the 996 only has to do with the placement of the rear bumpers exhaust cut out...porsche made it ever so slightly different.

 

mmm ok then...

 

Are the 997 cats better? Is there a benefit to this?

 

i know the cargraphic cats for the 997 won't fit the 996....

 

so can the 997non S exhsuat use on 996c2?
i am talking aftermarket, fabspeed one to be exact!
i called fabspeed, and all they do is try to tell me to buy one for 996 instead!
