hacking AP mufflers

After listening to many PSE hack videos on You tube, I am considering cutting and welding a 1 1/4 ss cross over pipe between the exhaust in and out similar to some of the PSE hacks people have talked about. Opinions. Thanks. JW

Unless you are prepared to throw them away, it seems like quite a gamble. What if they sound and/or perform worse? I'd suggest that you just buy the right part for the sound/performance you want rather than cut something up that wasn't designed to do what you're after.

You can get the ss tubing from "classic tube" if you don't have a source. JW

I have a set of stock mufflers off a 996 that I am getting ready to carve into and see what can be removed. Has anyone already done this?

Go to fabspeed webb site and they have a video that shows the internals of a stock muffler, might be helpful in your hack job. Also saw a mod that had the mod I am talking about along with the pse mod done also. You could probably do both. JW

That's what I had in mind. I have ordered the ss tubing and will probably do the mod next week. I hope it gives the AP's more of that PSE gurgle or burp sound

The AP's get louder over time as the packing burns in. How many miles do you have on them?

I have 4000 mi. on them. I was on the rennlist board and under "GILETTE CAP MOD" where the guy is using a cap to a gilette shaving cream can to block the second inlet to airbox, if you scroll through messages there is another guy named fister I believe that mods mufflers(stock & aftermarket). He has youtube videos of the different mod sounds and the one he did to a maxspeed set is similar to what I want to do and this mod sounds really good,IMHO. Check it out. JW

the hach we are dooing will sound the same if we did it on AP's or stock cans...it jumps right from the in to out pipes...i have heard that it sounds very close to the PSE, i am even going to put a valve in mine to open and close it.
