Thumbs down is this welding normal?????????
I know this is not an exhaust for 996 it's for a 987 s.

I know there are two types of Milltek exhaust for it.

1. CAT-BACK - Inc. Rear Catalysts
2. CAT-BACK - Exc. Rear Catalysts


I got this used and I think it got welded after wards.

Looks like the cats ware cut out. Those welds are not top quality. The incerts don't look like top quality stainless either. They also have some big miles on them.

Looks like they removed the resonators from the pipe and welded in a straight pipe, that just makes it alittle louder and anoying.
