It just looks like a really tight fit to get it up over the diff cradle and fundamentally, I am too lazy to try it without first asking the masses the simple question. Just want to do some mods to the rear muffler tip as I am sick of it looking like an elephant's arseh0le and it would be much easier to do it off the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got the thing in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then had a Turbo Territory and have just stepped into the FG. Never again will I go for a heavy slow thing like that. Great car.... if you want a great car. I prefer a great toy PHANTMXR6, if I was on the production line, I would put the exhaust up there prior to putting the diff cradle in. Don't know which order they did it however, I assume that you have got to be able to replace the rear muffler without dropping the diff cradle. I certainly couldn't get the rear muffler of my TT off. Didn't matter which way you twisted it, there was just not enough space.... or I was to stupid to master it. One of those two.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT would be harder, I would imagine, having twin pipes.Best of luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
