Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, new member here looking for some input. I know the mounting points are different for the early 2.5 mufflers and later 2.7/3.2 cars but the actual mufflers are more or less identical otherwise. I picked up this PSE/Fister knockoff muffler off a local 2.5 car and will be trying to mount it up to my 2000 S. I presume the brackets on top will need to be cut off and new brackets welded on but if anyone has additional input or advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
