So I pulled off the stock exhaust on my 02 S today for a GHL. GHL was a breeze to install. Getting the stock exhaust off, not so much. Since the exhaust is part of the crash structure Porsche engineered, its in there VERY well. Were I to do this again, I would absolutely remove the rear bumper to do this. Getting the upper bolts out is a ridiculous chore. I'd say if your shop will do this for an hour's labor I'd have it done. Swapping various aftermarket systems seems very easy, but getting the stock out is a royal PITA

Just thought I'd share.....
