Question Where to do Gundo Hack in Seattle?

Anyone have suggestions of where I can take my 997.1 C4S Cab for the Gundo Hack in Seattle?

My Plan is to do the Gundo Hack 1st, if all works well, then I would stick with it, or I would save up for PSE.

Thanks

Any muffler shop can do the hack. Take them a picture of the hack and tell them what diameter pipe you want and they can cut and weld the pipe into place based on the picture. I might suggest you use a pic with an example of quality weld joint. There are couple of different opinions on the proper diameter and I have read of examples anywhere from 1 to 2 " so a search on this site might help you decide which one you want. For my money 1 1/2 " sounds about right to me.

You could also yank the mufflers (quite easy) and send them off to Fister D motorsports. IIRC they charge $225-250 for the conversion, or they can send you a set of mufflers and you just send your cores in.

There will be labor charged for removing the rear bumper and the welding too. I'm guessing it took my mechanic 3 hours. I paid about $400.

I would recommend something less than 2" pipe. Mine is 2" and it is pretty loud. Maybe 1.75" is the sweet spot.

Search YouTube for "Gundo Hack" and my video should come up.

Good luck.

Do a Google search for images using keywords Gundo Hack and some pictures will come up that you can take to anyone who does mufflers.

Thanks everyone! I call and e-mail a local shop yesterday, and they don't have a problem doing it.
BTW, is this site the best for their reference: http://www.renntrack.com/forums/show...ack-GUNDO-HACK
