I have a 98' Boxster and I have a chance to purchase a used B&B exhaust that was on a 99' for a really good price. I realize that there is a different mounting setup, but I heard about a conversion bracket that is sold for this purpose. I can't seem to find anything. Has anybody heard about this and know where I can get one?

Thanks!

1997-1999 mufflers mount the same. So if it was on a 1999 you should have no problem putting it on your 1998.

Hmm, that the first I have heard that. I checked with Porsche dealer and they confirmed a different bracket setup. I also called a couple of aftermarket exhaust companies, including B&B and they said it wouldn't work. Have you tried it?

Thanks

I have not tried it. But the mount changed in 2000 when the 2.7/3.2 came out. The 1997-1999 2.5s are the same.

The B&M website shows that their muffler is the same for 1997-1999. Part number FROR-0950. Their site also shows that their muffler for 2000 up has a different part number, as 2000 is when the mount changed.
