A buddy of mine had it done earlier this year in Kitchener at a stainless steel muffler shop. Cost his $250. Littleon the steep side I think. But they did an excellent job. He used pictures off RL.

I had mine done at Tech Tune in Etobicoke (220-Norseman). Can't recall how much but it was around $200-250 (might have been even lower - I pay cash for this type of stuff
). He does both types - the Gundo and the extra pipe mod. The cross pipe that I had, he calls aggressive. Yup. I call it LOUD. They have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/techtune.exhaust

These prices people are posting are in line with what I was expecting. EU Autowerks is asking $1,250 + tax! I'm trying to figure out how they are asking this price. I know they do good work in general... but how are they charging so much more than the other guys? Just trying to figure this out.
I have no problem spending money... just need to understand why...

They can actually do both mod's (Gundo and Fister D) but he recommended against that as he said he had a client say it killed his mid range so he dissuades that mod as redundant. The larger the pipe - say the 2" or larger - the louder the sound.
If you search on Rennlist for these hacks, you'll find US owners don't pay more then $300 tops - most a lot lower.

Here's mine after mods. FYI: I never rev'd it over 3 grand here - so picture it at 6...

My mufflers have been "fistered". One of them now makes a fluttering noise so I'm guessing an internal baffle is done. Any guesses as to what sound and performance issues I might have if I gutted my "fistered" mufflers?

It's not rocket science - they take both cans down, work on them on a bench and then remount. The price I quoted was for *both* cans. Anyone charging these insane prices (like EU) was because they saw you coming and they outsource to a local muffler shop anyway and charge a mark up for taking them out and putting them back on. Its your money but Tech Tune has done a lot of 996/997's - he had just finished with one 997 when I got there and a guy with his 996 was coming done from Barrie after me. Its a rough looking place but they came highly recommended and I've had no issues. Your most important decision is which type of mod you want as one is a moderate upgrade (Gundo) in sound (sort of like the factory PSE option with the button you push that opens up the flap) and the other is pretty much CUP car sound (Fister) if you go WFO. Your gas petal really does become a 'loud' pedal but is easily moderated by RPM.
They can actually do both mod's (Gundo and Fister D) but he recommended against that as he said he had a client say it killed his mid range so he dissuades that mod as redundant. The larger the pipe - say the 2" or larger - the louder the sound.

So Tech Tune says $320 to do the job including removal and reinstall. Seeing how a lot of people seem to have gone there... I guess they are a good choice. Price is the same regardless of which modification method you choose to do.
Just wondering now if I should go directly between the in and out pipes or open the third unused port on the muffler...???
