Does exhaust need to be dismantled for clutch change on an S3?

[prt57]

Hi,
After my trip to check out Powervalve today to talk about having a full system fitted my car would have nearly all the hardware for an APR 2+. This probably would not do the clutch much good and so an upgrade would be on the horizon. Running at 1+ at the moment.
As it the title, would the exhaust have to be dismantled again to get the gearbox out for the clutch change?
Is there anyone running stage 2(+) on a standard clutch at the moment?
Thank you for your thoughts,

Peter

No it does not have to be touched to do a clutch

No, front half of the prop has to come off though which comes off with a bcs downpipe installed. It's very tight though
