Default Installing Exhaust?

So i got my mangaflow the other day, and im just trying to figure out my best method of mating it to my Pacesetter LT and ory. I dont have a car lift, so the easy way is out of the question. Will i be able to get away without dropping the rear end? Do i life it from the back and piece it in, or can i lift it from the front and go about it that way? Anything i should know or take perticular caution to when doing this?

Thanks!

Installing a catback isnt rocket science. You don't have to drop the rear end. I would jack the car up as high as you can get it and set it on jack stands. Mate the I pipe with the Y pipe, connect the over axle pipe and then muffler. Put on the tailpipes and then adjust everything accordinly. Id also dicth the supplied U bolt clamps that the system came with and invest in some stainless steel band clamps from NAPA or your going to have a hell of a time getting that system back off if you dont. Goodluck, the system will sound great.

if you have to resort to going to a muffler shop and having them do it it shouldnt be much at all
