there are two suspension (as in two places suspending the exhaust) points for the exhaust you have to release them along with the two bolts behind the bumper then you take off the two U pipes going from the secondary cat to the muffler remove it on both sides and you should be able to remove the muffler

Remove the rear bumper cover and the points will be obvious. I know some have removed without taking off the bumper cover, but my arms can't bend six ways.

Here's a link to a Boxster muffler removal thread with pictures. They seem to leave the bumper cover on.

This is pretty interesting, DWBOX2000 check out step 7, I didn't do it this way, I left those bolts on and removed the two bolts on top I sent you the picture of. This way looks easier in terms of leaving the bumper on. You can always try it, and if you get jammed up, quickly pull the bumper cover for more access if needed.

The TopSpeed/Manzo/Beluga Mufflers are easier to put on than the old one is to take off...
