Hi all,
Just a quick question, was wondering if 991 GT3 side mufflers are the same exernally as the 997 GT3 side mufflers. I know internally they are slightly different, but they seem to share a very similar external design. I would love to know if the dimensions and mount location is the same, I don't know how much of a difference (if any) it makes but I like the internal lower piping design of the 991 a little more than the 997 and I am considering changing up my exhaust setup anyways, so I thought why not consider 991 GT3 side mufflers if they bolt up? Thanks.

Also, any idea if the engine-side mount locations are the same too/would bolt up the same if I switched over to 991 exhaust hangars? This I am much more unsure about because the 997s and 991s use to my knowledge very different engines.
