Pirate: Sorry...the guys got a bit distracted and off subject...it happens quite a bit...especially to the older guys....but reference your question on where to get the 3.6L mufflers....put an ad (you have to be a paying member to do some of this) on the WTB section...also on RennTech, and put a search routine into eBay that will alert you to anything that has anything to do with "Porsche mufflers". I saw a guy on Rennlist just the other day who said he had a set of the 3.6L mufflers....another Rennlister just got a pair off eBay for under $30!! I paid $100 for mine off eBay...so they're out there and you will definitely get a set, you just have to be looking and alert.

Arnee, your muffler shop guy said to use Aluminzed tubing. I think that is what they used on yours. The different places that I asked said it is the same thing. In fact they said it is better because it doesn't rust or corode. It has the exact same dimensions and thickness as the pipes that Darin (Fister D) reffered me to get at Burns. Any input?

Had my 3.6L mkII modded mufflers put on today. Took her for another spin tonight and the sounds is NICE!!! I like it a lot. Nice and normal sound level at normal crusing rpm and LOUD when you push down on the accelerator. I drove through a bridge on the way home and floored it. WOW, what a sound! I even surprised myself with the roar from my car.
I've listened to the PSE many times before and I would be hard pressed to tell any difference at all. If you factor in the price difference ($2000+ cheaper) then I think it's an absolute no-brainer.

hahaha, I know. I think I hold the record for slowest install of MKII mufflers.
A complete re-landscaping of the yard took up all my time. I severly underestimated the complexity of that project. Add in a few business trips abroad and a vacation for three weeks and voila...it never gets done.

Swede: Glad to see you finally took the plunge....now, after it's all over and done with, it's good to see you so pleased with the results....it amazes me that with all the guys on this forum giving their thumbs up for this mod....that there are still some folks who keep wondering if it's a good move. For the money and the results (fantastic sound) it is really one of the best mods you can do....certainly one of the cheapest provided you can pick up the 3.6 mufflers at a decent price. I think they are actually a bit louder if you install the CAI too...mine seem to be getting louder as time goes by.
Did you have Darin put them in?

Chuck: I'm glad I did it too. Don't regret it at all. I was hesitant but now I can completely agree with you. It cost me a grand total of $350 to get it done and installed. Compared to what the PSE costs this is a steal! Love the sound. I took her out for another drive tonight and the only complaint I can come up with is that it increases the risk of a speeding ticket. I just keep revving to hear that lovely sound 
Darin did the mod for me. Great workmanship. When you see some of the pics that have been posted you really appreciate the excellent work from Darin. Nice clean welds.
I had Sharkwerks put on the mufflers for me. Not that far from where I live and another Rennlist recommendation that turned out great. Alex was super helpful and it was fun to see his shop and white beast. Unfortunately I found out that my car has an RMS leak now....fortunately I have CPO so I'm booking a time to get it fixed asap. New clutch is part of the plan as well.

Swede: This is a prime example of the forum's sort of "pass-it-on"....Tim got on me and convinced me to do it....then Tim and I got on you....now you can add your name to the list of "satisfied customers" and help convince another Rennlister .....there's getting to be quite a list of happy MKII mod folks out there. As far as I'm concerned, the small contribution I made to become a member on this forum has paid for itself many many times over.
