Exhaust removal/replace

[Marc Gelefsky]

I picked up an 03S Muffler and want to put it on my 01S, how hard is it to swap the exhaust?

Can I do this myself? I am fairly competent! :)

Thanks,

Marc

Replacing the exhaust is not very difficult. It should be a couple of hour job. The "U" pipes which connect the muffler to the cats can be difficult to remove. WD40 and a rubber mallet are a big help. The other challenging aspect is the nuts which secure the muffler to the transmission bracket. These must be installed by feel.

Removal and installation is not hard, just time consuming because of limited space and access to bolts. (ihave done it twice once on my 2000 986s and 99 non s 986) just jack the car up. I'm more concern if the exhaust will fit. If I remember correctly the brackets are a little different on the 03 (not sure exactly what the difference is, becuase when I purchased my Dansk sport exhaust, the part numbers were different from an 03-05. I'm sure there is a way to make it work, but i dont think it is a direct bolt on. You may want to double check if fittent is compatible.
