Stupid question. Can you fit a catback exhaust for this car in its trunk to transport it somewhere? Any catback with the connecting pipe removed.

The connecting pipe would be detached. It would just be the muffler section.

I doubt it, the opening is pretty small.

Use a towel or rip out the back seats and throw it in the back. Should fit there.

Interesting idea with the rear seats. I just looked it up, I didn't realize they were so easy to remove.

nope tried it.

you can put the connecting pipe in the trunk, and angle the cat back in the back seats, just be careful with the doors and the center console, or your scratch them up good.

The rear seat will fit a stock or MS catback.
