I bought a used Cargraphic sport exhaust from a guy who had it on his 997.1. It says its supposed to fit all 997.

Description:
2010 Porsche Carrera 4S 997.2 Cargraphic side mufflers Also fits 997.1 Carrera & S Mint condition and use only 5,000 kms Deep sound and gain performance 100% stainless steel made

Problem: when I tried putting the mufflers on my 997.1, the muffler pipe to the cat is the SAME size, so it wont fit in. I was thinking of taking to a custom muffler shop here to get it welded. However, I read online somewhere its not recommended to weld to a stock exhaust, is this true?

How can I get this on to my stock cat?

Thanks!

 

Go to Bud's Muffler (Santa Fe Drive in Denver) and consult them.

 

Are you sure that muffler inlet pipe is supposed to go into the cat pipe? Mine are the same diameter and are connected by a sleeve coupler. Here's a pic:

 

You are missing parts. Call the seller.

 

I don't think the parts are interchangeable between the .1 and .2

 

Steve might be right. On the 997.2 the side mufflers connect to the center muffler. On the 997.1 the mufflers connect to the cats. It's possible that both systems are dimensionally identical. Clearly, I don't know. Here are the two parts diagrams:

997.1



997.2

 

So would I just need a sleeve coupler? It also seems like it wouldnt JUST go up there since the pipe to the headers are in the way. Its either that pipe has to be taken out and put in between the two muffler pipes or something. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Can you post a photo of it?

- I'm kinda upset because the description said it would fit the 997.1. I had to pay an extra $53 for customs, which was a surprise. What's going to be more of a pain is if I dispute this, eBay/PayPal can pay it back to me, maybe it'll take awhile, but I hav to pay the return shipping. If it cost about $150-200 to ship the exhaust here, I'm guessing it'll be the same there. I was hoping to take it to a muffler shop in PA and hopefully they can put it on for me. That would be the best way since I know their work, and they're good with pricing.

I also emailed Cargraphic to see if the muffler is interchangeable between the 997.1 and 997.2.

 

My bad (maybe). I took his address as two residences: one in CO and one in PA. Is there a Denver, PA?

 

Ugh! The mounting brackets on the 997.2 mufflers are not even close to the 997.1 mounting brackets.

Maybe you'd be better off selling them instead of going through the eBay dispute process.

 

People will sell someone anything.....997.1 and 997.2 exhaust systems are not interchanable.

 

Crap. Well, Let me know if anybody is interested. Im just looking to make up what I ended up paying for these in total. I hope thats fair, if not Ill just dispute it and have eBay/Paypal pay me back. Im l

 

Im looking for $1000 shipped for this, hope this is fair. If not Ill see if I can send it back.
