Hey Karlooz…
Re: 02 996 C2 Muffler bypass…
I still can’t reply to threads, sorry for the multitude of new threads regarding the same topic..
Ignoring the factory connections, I measured the tail pipe from the end of the boomerang flange just south of the cat, to the point where the exhaust tip bend would start, and I got 10 inches. If we removed the stock mufflers and cut the tail pipe right at the end of the boomerang bracket, leaving enough room for a connection to a glass pack (about an inch) then modify the end of the tip (turbo or GT2 tip will fit the notch in the rear valance on an 02 996 - it’s the same size on a turbo as it is on a C2 – I measured one today) to accept the other end of the glass pack. The 8 inch glass packs you said you found would fit, if we stacked one on top of the other provided they are not too fat. I think that would give us the best of both worlds. The only drawback is that the stock muffler system would be a ***** to put back on if you ever wanted to. Those glass packs can’t be more than $50.00 each. $275 for the tips, and another $25 in material. What do you think? Where did you see those stubby glass packs?

Re: Hey Karlooz…
hmmm... just might work. it hought it was less than that. you also have to take into account the flange dimension/length then add the bend of the tail pipe. it still might work. will take more measurements and do more internet research.

my main idea is that i want a muffler that i can easily remove the muffler tips and swap them for bypass pipes for the track.
