Has anybody done both "Fister" um, modification ( 1 AND 2 ) on 3.6 cans? Anybody, anybody, anybody, Ferris?

I mean, the Fister Mk 2 mod of a 2 1/4" pipe from the muffler plug to the exhaust exit pipe AND the 1" pipe between the inlet and the exit pipes on a 3.6 muffler. BTW, I did do the 2 1/4" pipe (MK 2) on mine, and it is GREAT, but I want more.

Thanks for all the replies. Lots of aftermarket and hack stuff for me to research now.
Someone asked which oil I use: Mobil 1 and changed it myself. Pretty easy, BTW. I believe this forum provided the DIY.
Question on the "hack" : Because I have a bad/ loose baffle (or who knows what) inside the muffler, won't that have to be repaired? How hard is it for a muffler shop to diagnose/repair something like that? Or should I get a used OEM driver side unit and have the hack done at that time? Is there a "long version" of the hack for more details? Do you have this done at any muffler shop or is it a detailed operation?
I'll continue looking for good used (cheap!) ss exhausts as well. Anyone selling?

Robin Sun makes or used to make his RSR version of 996 mufflers--cutting them open, altering the interior, and re-welding. If something is loose inside, I'm sure opening them up would facilitate resolution. His website doesn't list 996s anymore, but the google cache does. I wonder if he stopped doing 996s?
