Default ??? on installing exhaust system

Hello

I have a 2000 6-spd which is a lease car, and now is the time to turn it back in. I have the car up on my lift, and I have removed the Corsa exhaust. Now I need to put the stock system back on. The stock system was not cut and is in one piece. I got the driver side in, but I can not for the life of me figure out how the passenger side goes in. :mad

Is there any trick into putting the passenger side back on?

Thanks for your help

We had to drop the sway bar to get it off so I would assume you have to do the same to get it back on. Hope this helps.

already sold sorry. I do have a few other parts that I will be selling though. Like a set of Fikse FM5 wheels in stock C5 size. I also have the billet LP cover and tail light covers if anyone is interested. I will be posting pics of these in the C5 section later this week.

A4's sometimes require the passenger-side heat shield be removed.

Assuming you have lots of room under the car to manuver the muffler/pipe assembly, then drop or remove the anti sway bar, and start wiggeling the pipe through the opening holding the muffler in a vertical position and to the left of the opening. It's a very tight fit and takes patience. I just removed my Corsa mufflers/pipes and reinstalled them yesterday. I had to remove the pipe from the muffler in order to get it through the opening, and then reattach it to the muffler. Good luck. :lol:
