Default Will an OEM exhaust fit in an S2000?

My new exhaust should be arriving shortly (Thanks Hendy ).

My question is, if I take it somewhere to be fitted, will I be able to stuff the old system into the car to get it home?

I want to keep it in case I need to swap back for some reason.

IIRC the OEM is a single piece, so will probably need a large estate/hatchback, or a small van to transport it.

You can try, by putting the cat end in the foot well. And you would need to wrap it...

I doubt it will fit!

OEM exhaust is all 1 piece. Its Huuuge and heavy. definitley won't fit in your car.

No way will this fit in the car. The weight alone means you stand a very good chance of getting cracked in the head by one of the rear cans as you drive along.

I've seen someone do it on here, but there's no way on earth I would try it.

Your interior would get damaged for one.
