997 TT exhaust on 996 TT?

[CO996C4]

Just wondering is the 997TT OEM exhaust less restrictive then the older 996TT? I know 996 version has 4 300 cell cats in it. If it is less than can the 997 exhaust somehow be retrofitted to the 996 car? After see ing cost of aftermarket exhausts was looking for more economical way to get a a free flowing exhaust. No one will modify my current exhaust for fear of being in trouble with fedsThanks

I don't know about the 996 but in the 997 exhaust some of the baffles can be removed to make the gases flow better. I did it to mine before I found a used Tech Art at a good price. I don't think that a 997 TT muffler will fit on a 996 TT.

Removing baffles in the exhaust does not compromise your emissions. The only thing a shop can do to get in trouble is remove your cats. In this case your not touching your cats.

I would see if you can find a used system. There are a lot of them out there.

Good luck..
