A little help please,
I a trying to delete the muffler and I can't get it off. It looks like I have to remove the rear lower fascia to loosen or remove the rubber isolators and to move the muffler rearward for removal. I have lossened all obvious screws on the lower fascia and in the wheel wells, but it won't budge. Is it secured with tape? Are there hidden fsteners? Any help would be welcome. Thanks.

Leave the fascia alone...may need mini ratchet or small ratchet wrench...loosen both bolts on the two rubber isolators, and loosen the bolts on the single isolator in front of the muffler, then loosen the band clamps, and go for it. You will likely need a hammer and wood block or a dead-hammer to pound the pipes loose...be sure not to dent pipes (usually not a problem if stock...WILL dent if it's a CORSA so BE CAREFUL).

Call me if you like 317-402-9013

P.S. place strips of racer tape or duct tape on the lower edge of the hole in fascia where pipes exit to prevent scratching the chrome tips.
