OEM exhaust

I am looking to buy a 997t out of state. The car has an aftermarket exhaust and was curious if the factory exhaust will fit inside the frunk OR inside the car. I am not sure if the exhaust comes apart in the middle of the two mufflers. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, will an aftermarket exhaust void warranty if the car is certified by porsche? Thanks...

OEM exhaust

It should fit in the front passenger seat, would want it well packed and secured (seatbelt) to prevent damage to the interior.

It will fit with the seat reclined, but you want to be VERY careful to wrap it up in something soft or it could really damage the interior.

The enclosed lift-gate specialty carriers are used to shipping cars with extra wheels, parts, etc... Have them quote you a price for the car and the exhaust, no reason to cram it in there and risk dinging the leather imo.

An aftermarket exhaust shouldn't impact CPO status, however, some dealers are a little more militant than others regarding modded cars. To be safe, if it has an aftermarket tune you might want to flash it back to stock before your first service visit but don't worry if all it has is exhaust. Your CPO should cover everything except the exhaust.
