Default Haul OEM exhaust inside car

Has anyone been able to fit the OEM axle exhaust in the trunk or inside the cabin?

Also another 2 quick questions...

How loud is it to drive without the OEM axle back? And Will it damage my car if I drive without it for about a hundred miles?

it does not fit in the trunk, but it fits in the rear .... If you search for one of old threads, I have posted some pics. I really would not do it again...

check out this thread for the pics.

I also had the same problem when i had my Tanabe installed. I just had them cut using the welding machine my stock exhaust near the Y-junction the way the Tanabe was initially before it was installed. It fit perfectly with room to spare on the trunk. Will just have to weld them back if i decide on putting back to stock exhaust

^ I Do NOT recommend a 100 mile trip without the oem axle section installed...

Reason, there will nothing supporting the OEM Front-Mid pipe, except for the front 4 bolts.. SO not a good idea at all..
Sound is not an issue in this case.

Thanks blk250, that was exactly what I was looking for!

And JoeZ that was exactly what I was looking for as well!

Thanks for the info guys,

Nabbun, I am getting it from Batmobile down in Philly, so no one is going to come with me for that drive lol.

I am still having trouble getting rid of my stockie, so I think I might have to leave the tanabe in the trunk for a while...
