Default How to remove starter

Have anyone removed the starter on a 2005 coupe without disconnecting the exhaust up front. I saw a video where they disconnected theirs because they have aftermarket header. May have to pull starter having some starting issue.

Thanks for the input

I've not done it, but I saw a You tube video of a C6 with OEM exhaust, and the mechanic only loosened the exhaust bolts at the cat converter on that side to move the exhaust (cat) enough to get the starter out of there.

Good Luck

With headers or stock exhaust, you can usually get it out by only having to loosen everything on the passenger side.
