FYI, it only takes about 1 hour or so to drop your tank out from under your car. If you run the car low on gas you can do it yourself with ease.

if you have the stock exhaust, it's a pain in the *** cause you gotta cut the exhaust to get it off basically. if not...it's no biggie. Here is how I do my vert and I've done it SEVERAL times. Back car onto ramps. Place jack under passenger side rear jacking point and jack up the body of the car on that side so exhaust will eventually slide out. Unplug fuel tank harness from connector under the car above the axle on the driver side. It is mounted at the back of the rear driver side back seat. disconnect the 3 fuel lines...just quick connects so no tools needed. Lower panhard bar by removing 3 15mm bolts on drivers side and then pull it down against the rear end so you can get your catback out. While you are over there...pull back the plastic inner fender well cover and remove the 10mm nut that holds the fuel fill hose to it's bracket. undue those little screws that hold the heat shield on above the tank...like 1/4" or 5/16" I think. Outside the car, open the fuel fill door and remove the 2-3 phillip screws you see and pull off the gas cap and cover. Drop your catback and you should be able to get it out even with the over the axle pipe still attached. Then you only have to undue the 2 15mm bolts holding the fuel tank straps to the car. It sounds bad but if you can get your cat back off, it's easy. With the borla or loudmouth, I can have my tank on the ground in 30 minutes.

With a small hole in the top of my tank area, I can have my whole pump assembly in and out and the interior back together in 30 minutes.

the problem is that i have the stock exhaust with a flomaster welded to it, but i do have a cut out, clamped to in the i pipe rigth before it curves in the axle, does my exhaust have to come out, or can i just lower it
