Default Anyone have a car lift i could please use?

Member here and I are swapping exhaust and we got mine done last night, but was a huge huge pita. Would have been 10x easier if we had a lift. We both have corvettes and he is wanting my TI exhaust in trade for his corsa. So what i was wondering is if there is anyway we could use a car lift for about 30min - 1 hour at the most. His exhaust is already off the car and he's running straight pipe basically lol. Sounds badass, but he needs something quite. If this is possible we would like to use it later today, later tom, and even wed, but would prefer today as his neighbors don't like loud cars.

Please PM me with any details and thanks for reading this...We are also located in Sugarland...

Just jack the cars way up with a floor jack. I have changed the exhaust on the car about 4 times without any problems by myself. Just have to get it really high to clear the axles.

We did that with my car and it was scary. Luckily his car isn't lowered and it was a pain in the *** to get my TI's out of the car. They kept hitting the ground. So we had to raise it up more. Then after we got it high enough to clear the ground the jack would get in the way..The jack gets in the way too much lol. Figured a lift would take 1 hour MAX...Just thought i would ask 1st before taking that route...

No i need a car lift. A 4 point would be preffered. A car lift is the two towers on both sides of the car with a 4 point jacking rail on the bottom of both towers lifted by hydrolics.
