I recently swapped in a 3.2L Engine into a 2.7L 986 that I bought with a blown engine. The swap went well and the car runs. I am now trying to reinstall the muffler that came with the car. It is a GHL Exhaust. Originally, the exhaust was not supported by anything and it was just connected to the midpipe. I imagine this must have put a lot of stress on the headers/engine having to support the entire exhaust. It turns out that the support studs on the muffler that mount to the bracket on the transaxle are cut off. Does anyone have access to a GHL muffler? If so, could you take some measurements of how high the stud sits? I can compensate you in beer money.

Thanks!
