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

Just picked up a 1999 996, and the previous owner had removed not only the mufflers but the brackets that hold them up. Its a bit loud for me now and I want to reinstall the brackets as well as the mufflers until I decide something else. Regardless, I believe I need the brackets back on for any future muffler. Is there a way to shimmy it into place around the headers without removing the headers? Also- I'm missing hardware - anyone know the hardware spec? I've attached a photo of the brackets I'm referring to. Thanks!

Another follow up. If I remove the bumper and heat shields does that make installing this bracket easier?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Figured it out! Removing the ground strap and valve heat shields gave me just enough room to finesse it in. Also- for any future reference - the bolts are M8x30mm

Oh, interesting! They are super light...I wonder what they are?
