Exhaust Installation Any comments here are greatly appreciated.
How "hard" is it to put a cat back system on ?
I have air tools, but access to no lift. Just 3 1/2 ton floor jacks,stands and ramps.
Is this an "all day" job ?
Can one person do the install ?
How hard is it to get the factory exhaust off ?
I would like to keep the factory exhaust intact if possible but I don't want to drop the rear end.
Any tips/tricks/hints are very much welcome.
TIA.

Re: Exhaust Installation Its not too hard. Just make sure everything fits together before you start taking stuff apart. Jacks are fine, Make sure you have a box or something to prop the muffler up on, or an extra set of hands. You might want to get the tips welded on too. Dont loose any of the factory brackets either.

Re: Exhaust Installation It's easy. Just put the car up on stands. Takes about 3.5 hrs give or take. I took my stock exhaust off by use of a pipe cutter right above the axle where the pipe bends. It will then drop very easily. This way 1 cut = 1 weld if you want to go back.
Tools –socket set, screwdriver and torque wrench.
