I never remove the rear bumper to remove the mufflers. easier to remove rear tire and then the 3 nuts on the muffler brackets and connection between the Cat and muffler, muffler comes out the wheel well. I also leave the outlet pipe attached to muffler.

Car Capsule indeed. While it’s not as convenient as pulling in/out of a garage, for roughly $1k (actually a little less) it’s a really good deal - and not just winter storage. I use it year ‘round - especially if I’m traveling or if I know I won’t be driving the car for more than a few days.

I replaced my Renegade BBK which uses 997 Turbo S rotors in Front with Girodisc (pronounced Ji-row-disc) front & back.
Weight savings of 16 pounds of unsprung weight in front and 10 pounds in back
My front rotors went from 350mm to 340mm. (Factory is 317mm)
My rear rotors went from factory 289mm to 325mm.

Yes, I can’t wait to take it for a drive to bed in the new rotors and test them out.
I also installed 997 turbo rear brake ducts.
They required minimal modding to clear my 18x11 rear wheels.
Nothing a utility knife with a new blade couldn’t take care of.
