LPMM's- FisterD is the way to go.
If anyone out there is looking for somebody to fab the LPMM muffler mod, you needn't look any farther than our own FisterD. I contacted him via PM, and a day later, my cans were on there way to N. California for the LPMM mod. The turn-around was less than a week and the results were absolutely fantastic! I went with the 2" pipe and love the sound. Not too loud from the driver's seat but wonderful from the rear. I now find myself driving with my windows open looking for an area that will reflect the sound back into the cockpit! Workmanship was first class. I highly recommend this mod by FisterD.
Thanks again Darin!

Do you send him the mufflers and the stainless pipe or just the mufflers? I assume you also contacted him ahead of time so he knew they were coming? I've been contemplating going with this mod, just not sure where to get it done. Maybe FisterD is the way to go.

I had mine done at an independant muffler shop. Kinda down-and-dirty: cutting torch to open up somewhat less than a 2" hole on the pre-marked spots of the existing pipes, a couple of appropriate length 2" aluminized pipe from their stock with ends shaped a bit, then weld. Less than an hour and $50 to do both mufflers. It's not an art piece, but looks OK. You're not going to see any of it, anyway, unless you're crawling around under the car looking for it.

+ 1 for Darin aka. FisterD. Since I am local to him, I just brought the mufflers to his shop. An hour later, it's done. Been extremely happy with the mod since then....

I'm no welder... (even though I have one, it ain't pretty... not the welder, my work) but I didn't know you could weld aluminum to SS.
As long as it is done right you're good to go.

Darin did mine too, love the sound, and he's a super nice guy to boot. Met MarkD and another lister at Darin's shop, ate pizza and watched Darin do his thing. Was a nice way to spend an afternoon

Can't agree more, Darin Fister did my 993 mufflers last year and I couldn't be happier. There is nothing better than a professional welder that is a perfectionist and doing something he is passionate about. Thanks FisterD

He is a great guy and eager to help. Hopefully, I'll find my way up to his shop next week. I have DACH Sport Cats plus RSR now but have a pair of MSP Muffflers around. Planning to mod the MSPs and see what it sounds like with the Sport Cats...

The pipe wasn't pure aluminum- the shop mgr told me that it was some sort of standard "aluminized" pipe regularily used by muffler shops, whatever that is. The stainless used in the OEM mufflers is a very ow grade and the shop simply used their trusty electric welder with a wire feed to do the job. Guessing that there was enough steel in the stainless mufflers and the "aluminized" pipe to pull it off.
