three quick questions!!
 
I have an 02 boxster

1. Remove a 986 Muffler HOW TO........??? - 6speedonline.com Forums
Regarding 7 of removing the muffler, how do i reach that area and take the bolt off?? i tried every angle and it's really hard to get to it. yes, i removed the bumper too. i managed to loosen the bolt after a few hours of frustration but now the nut and bolt rotates together, so it literally wont come out....

2. I removed both of my rear cat. So there is nothing connecting the muffler to the front cat. what would happen if i drive around??


3. Also my my Porsche wheel crest rattles over bumps. how do i get it to stop rattling?? should i glue them on with some elmers glue or something?? lol or is that normal for the crest to be a bit loose and rattle. it rattles on all 4 wheels.

I don't really care about loudness. My only concern is that will there be any damage to my car if i decide to drive it? my test pipes are coming in the mail some time next week, so just in case if i need the car, can i drive it without it causing damage to anything?

you won't damage the car, but you'll probably get a ticket for not having mufflers. I think the exhaust noise will be unbearable.

No damage to the car but when you step on the throttle, you'll wake the dead. Literally. Its LOUD.

#3 You'll either have buy genuine Porsche caps or bend the tabs out a bit.

Yep, really loud (120db?) and a totally uncorked/non-tuned Boxster just sounds like a dump truck. Pretty awful.

For the center crest, clean the tabs with alcohol and you can dab with silicone at three points and press in. They will stay without rattling and will press out pretty easily if needed.

Plasti-dip works really well, also :D
One thin coat on all tabs makes for a nice snug fit.
