I have heard a OEM 987 exhaust can be made to fit a 986 by relocating a few parts.

Never done it myself but I suppose biggest benifit might be from moving exhaust further away from the sides of the cam covers.

The major difference between the 986 and the 987 exhaust system is how it routes from the headers to the catback along the sub chassis. In actuality, 987 headers will fit on a 986, it's where the "pumping" goes from there - that creates the problem.

Looks like it from here, did you remove it from a street driven 986? How do you know it's made by Milltec?

If so maybe you can post what mods are required to fit it to a 986 to help it sell.

To my knowledge, Milltek only produces exhaust systems for the 987, and never for the 986.
