Can a Boxster 2.5 muffler be used on a 2.7 without much fuus?

Hi, I have one of the e-bay german "sport mufflers" (made from a OEM muffler with by-passes) and I'm upgrading to a B&B. I have the Sport for sale and someone wants to buy it that has a Boxster 2.7 and my Boxsters a 2.5. Anyone know if it´ll fit without much trouble. I´d like to be honest and do a fair sell. Thanks

A 2.5 muffler mounts differently than a 2.7/3.2 muffler.

Thanks toolpants. It was that I read somewhere that you just had to turn the support around or something. Thanks.

If it is the Ottles muffler you might ask them if there is an inexpensive way to mount a 2.5 muffler on a 2.7/3.2. I do not know of a way. No one wants to put the stock 2.5 muffler on a 2.7/3.2. What people like to do it put the 3.2 muffler on a 2.5, because the 3.2 muffler has 2 tips.

And for that you use the factory adapter for the sport exhaust.

Well, some people do use the adapter.

Just for fun, here is a picture of a 3.2 muffler that was mounted on a 2.5 by the original owner. The new owner of the 2.5 noticed that the 3.2 muffler was drooping. When the new 2.5 owner removed the 3.2 muffler he found a homemade adapter. Made out of a shower rod and hose clamps....

Good God, someome should be flogged! I told the potential buyer it wouldn't fit. Thanks for the help.
