997 C4S Muffler Modifications

We finally got some semi warm weather (almost hit 40 today!), so I took the opportunity after lunch to run out and pull some mufflers for a buddy that we are going to modify 🙂 The OEM (Non-PSE) mufflers are just too mild, so we are going to have to fix that.

Got the unit open after chopping the door pull free from the ice.

Up in the air and ready to pull the mufflers.

Passenger side can stuck up in the bumper.

Muffler clamp that needs to be loosened and slide back.

And passenger side out of the car.

People always get a little confused when they try and remove 996 and 997 mufflers. They see the two long bolts on the muffler bracket (which must be removed from the top, which isn’t possible due to clearance), and wonder how in the world…..Well actually, you remove the entire mounting bracket while it is still attached to the muffler. Then, once out of the car, you can remove the bracket from the muffler (and swap to a new mufflers if need be). At that time, I suppose you could flip the bolt around so it drops out the bottom (nut on top), for future R&R.

And both mufflers loaded up and ready to modify. Stay tuned.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it. Ok, for those that can't figure it out, that is actually not my profile, but that of Dr. Evil's profile from Austin Powers. Though chestnuts are indeed lazy, you can't argue with that.
