Yep, did it yesterday. Stock primary cats, sensors and header with Stebro secondary cat deletes and now my new 18lb Charlie Chan muffler. SWMBO gives it the thumbs up and believe me the lady is acoustically hard to please. Muffler gives a nice low rumble sound and not the high pitched screech I was worried about. No real discernible drone that would drive us both nuts. Very pleased with the set up and between the cat deletes and new CC muffler I dropped a lot of weight in the rear of the car. I will weigh the stock muffler later and report back. Really more of a sports car sound, not quiet but that is not what I was looking for. Eric, my friend who has the 944T race car and a 996 C-4 was worried it would be too loud and I/we wouldn't like it but he says he wishes his C-4 sounded as good.

Muffler was around $300 shipped so it was well worth it. A few issues that I will later describe but nothing serious. I do not know how the hell you would change out the muffler without removing the rear bumper but some here claimed to have done it and my P-car ball cap is off to you flexible souls. Bumper removal was not hard at all and I did not lose or break anything. Be sure to feed your two license lights back through the openings before bolting up the bumper.. Ask me how I know!!!! Also I didn't lose the three pins holding the spoiler cap on this time. Having access to a home garage pro lift and loads of tools was a plus. I can't imagine rolling under the car while up on jacks but again, kudos to those who do it this way. More later

Damn trouble is I now owe the Dangerous one at least a sixpac. :dance: :dance: :dance:
