Best Answer

The muffler is held be a few rubber exhaust hangers and 2 bolts connecting the muffler to the catalytic converter pipe.

  1. Raise the rear of the car on ramps or jack stands.
  2. Loosen the two bolts connecting the exhaust to the exhaust pipe. Often the nuts/bolts are rusted and sprays such as Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster should be used.
  3. Once the nut/bolt is removed, the exhaust is free to be removed from the rubber exhaust hangers. Some viscous liquids like dish soap or oil, forced in with a small stick or flathead screwdriver can be used to pull the exhaust from it's hangers.
  4. When the exhaust is replaced use a new exhaust gasket between the exhaust and catalytic converter exhaust pipe.

These basic instructions can apply to any year Miata.
