Default crap, 4 hour corsa install

I just spent my Saturday installing a Corsa Catback on my 02 f-body and it took me four hours with 4 other guys. It started with a sticky bolt on the y-pipe to the immediate pipe. That took about 30 minutes to get off, but after that the setup went well except when we got to the last tip, the clamp didn't fit on the tip, took another hour to bang that out and test fit, blah. So I finally got it on, drive around for like 20 minutes then I notice a vibration, so I stop look under the rear of the car, the clamp from the immediate pipe to the muffler came off!! I immediately notice a loss in throttle response, I felt like I was driving a GT now that was depressing, so I have to jack the bitch up tomorrow figure out where I screwed up. Anyways, nothing ever goes as planned. The tips look damn nice though.

Default welds

Well, I fixed the problem, pretty much had to tear down everything again, anyways, i was thinking about getting some welds around the clamps, anybody think it is worth it ?

how high did you have to get the car in the air to do the exhaust?

I had two jacks stands lifting the back. The jackstands where probably 1.5ft extended, plenty of room, I am just guessing on the height of the jackstands, but i could see three hole levels on the jack stands
