- In this video I tackle the removal of the muffler from my 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera. This is a real time video and I show how quickly it can be removed. Anyone have any constructive comments please leave them and I will reply. Please see my other videos and please subscribe. Please note that the actuator bolt is a 8mm not 7mm as I said in the video.

Thanks for the detailed video. Followed it easily as part of the process for coilpack & sparkplug job. Also followed your bumper removal process video. Thx!
Just a tip for the sports exhaust actuator ball joint circlet clip: When putting it back together, it's easier to get the actuator, shield with the special washer and three bolts, and the little circlet clip installed together held by hand, then slid onto its perch with three holes, and actuator arm with circlet slides through the hole easily. Then from below, secure it with the 8mm bolts (at least one of them), then halfway remove the circlet clip, but leave it inserted at the top, then position the ball and use pliers to plug the ball joint in while holding the circlet, then put the circlet all the way through to secure it and clip it on. If you try to put the circlet on last, it's a little devil! Access is so tight here. Do it this way and you'll save yourself lots of time in Purgatory for curse words lol!
Good job Mr. Swamson, Keep up the hustle.
Awesome video, and thanks for your experiment. I have a 3inch straight thru on s3, but now i am putting back stock oem muffler only. I noticed the power is more even. Have you noticed the difference on dyno before and after?
I took the mufflers off to perform a spark plug change so I can’t comment on dyno performance. I do have the sport exhaust. With sport exhaust engaged, there is a noticeable deepening of the exhaust note. No drone at highway speeds. My only complaint is that it’s not quite loud enough. Thanks for watching and glad the video helped you out.
I'm about to remove my mufflers, this is an invaluable video for me. Thanks! From the UK
Glad to see that this video will help you out. It really is a simple and straight forward job. Good luck with everything. Really makes changing the spark plugs a simple task.
perfect, I am right at this point and thought the damper would be easy to get off...nope I needed your help brah!
Glad it helped you out. That little clip is a bit fidgety.
@didifixthat7910 I had the muffler in my arms and realized it wasn't going anywhere because I had the sports exhaust. #mechanicalaptitude
The sport exhaust is held on with an 8mm bolt not a 7mm as I said in the vdeo. Sorry guys. Did I fix that? Yes I did!
Great video thank you
Glad it helped you out
Towards the end of the video when he removes the sports exhaust system…it’s much easier to just pull the vacuum line off of the unit. It’s just a push fit crimped hose and comes off really easy so no need to dismantle as shown at the end of the video
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the braided vacuum line and didn’t know exactly how to remove and reset the line so I left it alone. Thanks for the alternative way to remove the actuator and as always thanks for watching.
Great video, currently repairing my 997.2 PSE system. Been looking for the part number for the vacuum actuator (the motor moving the exhaust valve). Where did you find the replacement valve actuator (the motor moving the exhaust valve)?
My actuator motors are ok. I didn’t have to replace them. I have purchased from Gaudin Porsche in the past. I just removed them to do a spark plug change.
Thanks for making the videos - following as just got a 997.2 C2S 👍
Welcome to the club. Glad the videos helped you out. Enjoy your new car.
Thanks, again, for the video. Did plugs and coil packs today and these were invaluable in me getting the job done efficiently and without any parts left over. One note, I didn’t need to pull the 13mm between the cats and the center muffler (the one you mentioned only needing to pull 2 of the 3). Ready to tackle exhaust upgrades next!
Good to hear that it helped you out. These cars really aren’t that hard to work on.
Thank you. I will try your method. I was not able to get the 3 bolts off at the flange.
So much easier with the bumper cover off. Not sure why people attempt plug changes without taking the cover off. Good luck.
Nice!! Thanks
Great videos. Thank you!
Thanks
Great job. Thanks for the video.
Glad I could help. Hopefully you got your car going. Cheers.
