How difficult is it to remove 981 exhaust?
Discussion
I need to swap the exhaust on my 981 (catback).
A cursory glance underneath suggests its very easy (only six nuts) but I thought it was worth asking, is there anything, in particular, I should know beforehand?
Is it easier to remove as one piece or is it best to separate the tailpipes first? Are the nuts/bolts/studs liable to snap with rust, and are the gaskets metal (i.e. can they be reused)?

Haven’t done it personally myself, but have seen it removed before.
Typically it’s done as one whole unit.
There are gaskets between the headers and the over axle pipes, which could be reused…. Depends on how you treat them during the removal process. Some exhaust vendors recommend fitting new ones.
