Does the OEM exhaust fit in the trunk?

I'm having an AWE exhaust with the performance midpipe installed next week. Has anyone tried putting the oem exhaust in the car to transport it home after the install? I'm wondering if it's doable with the seats down.

Yes it fits. I would bring a box or large trash bag though since the exhaust will be dirty.

Yes it'll fit. You don't have to put the seats down either.

Beacause I'm also going with the performance midpipe the stock exhaust won't be cut so the back seats would need to come down.

I've got some old blankets ready to go. Did you put the whole exhaust(uncut) in the car or just the muffler?

Just the muffler, but I would assume the whole exhaust will fit if you fold the seats.

uh, I don't know how the other ppl got it to fit but I just had the same exhaust installed and even with the seats down AND the oem exhaust cut about 1/4 of the way it was a very tight fit. The whole thing is one big piece so it kinda has to be cut. Maybe I did it the hard way, I don't know

How are you guys liking the AWE with the mid-pipe? Any drone? I'm very interested in this exhaust as well.
