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.

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? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

You can reinstall the muffler brackets without removing the headers. The brackets attach to the engine carrier via three nuts facing the engine. Accessing these nuts can be a bit challenging due to limited space, but with the right tool such as a variety of ring spanners, sockets, and universal joint. you can maneuver around the existing components. Removing the rear wheels and possibly the bumper can provide additional working space, making the process more manageable. I hope this helps
