Storage options for stock exhaust?

M2 CCO · 12-31-2020, 05:16 PM

For those who have replaced their exhaust from the primary cat back...how have you stored the stock exhaust? Mine is not cut and currently still in one (very long lol) piece.

Just curious what folks are doing to get it out of the way etc.

Thanks!

Mines in my storage unit with all my other bulky car parts

Mine is just propped up on the garage wall. It’s not the most beautiful thing in the world, but it works.

I put all of my used car parts in my basement.

Going to be in the rafters of my garage.

PS What's it take to remove it in one piece?

Thanks for the replies. EAS in CA removed it. It comes all welded together from the factory. If you remove the secondary cat/resonator box it's already connected/welded to the axel back exhaust muffler. So unless you cut it, it comes out in about a 8-9ft long piece.

Thank you!

I have a related question: how to transport it in one piece? Does it fit a large suv or require a flatbed or large van rental?

b0lzen · 01-01-2021, 09:50 AM

My buddy with a truck helped transport it from the shop. Doesn't take up much room on the wall of the garage.

Now that's what I call wall art! Great idea!

Between a crap-ton and a sh1t-ton.

Stored mine in the backyard shed after taping off the inlets and exhaust to prevent critters for making a home.

I'm guessing in the ballpark of 40-50lbs.

Akrapovic state 50lb for the rear section and 30lb for the front section. Total 80lb.

As to storage, I stood mine up against the wall in the garage. Cumbersome thing that it is.
