Default OEM Axle back exhaust trunk fitment

Question for owners who had an axle back installed at a shop. Does the oem rear section fit into the trunk?

I'm debating between bringing my car to a shop to have it installed or doing it myself. Any tips for a DIY? I bought my exhaust used and may not have installation instructions. Thanks!

No it doesn't fit in the trunk.
It is quite heavy as well. Good luck.

I dont have an F but it doesnt even with the standard IS. Its all one piece so you cant even separate the muffler and put down the back seat and move it from there. I ended up doing it at home so i can just dump the OEM in the garage

Kind of annoying to have a full one piece 2 muffler exhaust.

When I had my cat back installed, I was just barely able to fit both pieces (stacked on top of each other) into my Cayenne with the back seats down. I think I remember an old 2IS thread a while back where someone jammed the stock exhaust into the cabin, but had to stick a portion of it out the sunroof.
