Default Gundo Hack on a Turbo

Hi, I have spent some time trying to find out if it is possible to do a Gundo Hack on a 997.1TT or maybe a Sharkwerks bypass. Has anybody had this done or have any other ideas to get a better sound without dropping $5K on an aftermarket? All input is greatly appreciated.

It is not possible to do something like it. On the N/A cars, the pipes of entry and exit are on the same side of the mufflers, which are two, and located on the sides of the car in the wheel wells. The exhaust on the turbo is a centrally located can (or two), so it is not possible to directly buypass parts of the cans. Also, the exhaust is significantly more important in a turbo car vs a n/a car as backpressure has a direct effect on the turbo operation.

In a nutshell, there is no $200 solution. There are cheaper exhaust systems out there, and some used ones as well popping up here and there.

There is a hack where guys drill a 1" hole into the secondary cat chamber via the exhaust exit. I thought it sounded ****ty.
