I just removed my muffler on my 2001 Boxter without taking the rear bumper off .I loosened all 4 Clamps on the left and right pipes and slid the clamps towards the muffler so that the pipes are separated. Then I removed the two nuts on both sides of the lower hangers and removed the hanger hardware. Now the muffler can move back and forth.I then put a block of wood to use as a wedge and kept the muffler as much to the rear of the car as possible.Then I removed the three bolts that hold the bracket to the transmission. And then with a little wiggling the Muffler came right out .IT wasn’t as bad of a job as I thought.
