So here's my problem....
The original muffler is stainless correct? I drive my car all year and there is salt on the road. I would really like to do this with stainless steel but I'm not sure what grade/gauge to get. Also, what composition welding stick should I be using for this? My tech says he'll do it if I take the cans off.
Any specific info would be appreciated.

Does the reduced back pressure reduce torque? Has anyone checked before and after dyno results?
I did mine 3 years ago

This is just awesome!
Hey guys - little did I know when we first started this how many people would find the hack so enjoyable. The best thing about this is that you get all the PSE sound for MUCH less dinero.
Also, with respect to the hack, make sure the shop doing the welding uses equivalent material - using straight steel will create rust problems pretty quickly.
Keep on hacking! And yes, the pics with the 2" pipes welded in are mine. 2" seems to be the best possible sound for the dollar.
Also important to note that the double bypass as pictured above is best done on a set of 996 cans. the internals of the 997 cans are different, and a single bypass is all that is necessary.
In this video, I'm running laps at Limerock with AWE Cats, Gundo Hacked cans and X51 headers - this is what I would consider to the be the ultimate setup. Turn UP the volume

Gundo's sounds like he's running a straight pipe in comparison. I think some of the classic Porsche flat six sound is lost with this set up. Porsche spends big bucks developing an exhaust that makes just the right sound. This doesn't sound anything like my PSE.
IMHO of course.
And where the heck is that drive-by video Bruce? .

Matt - you are exactly right. That video of my car is the Gundo hack plus the X51 headers and AWE Cats. The AWE cats are indeed quite loud
Here's a drive-by with just the hacked cans:
