Default Exhaust installation

Well I ordered an SLP Loudmouth a week or so ago, and it comes in Tuesday, I was wondering if you need a lift to install it or would i be ok with just ramps?
also this is my first time doing this... any pointers?

-thanks

If you do it with ramps you will most likely have to cut the stock exhaust off right ahead of the muffler(that's what I did). Otherwise taking the stock exhaust off intact will probably require that you be on a lift and maybe remove your panhard to get it off in one piece. Putting the catback on is really easy because it's in pieces, once the stocker is off it will probably take like 10 minutes to finish.

The install is a cake walk. But like said before. If on ramps a sawzall will be your friend getting the old exhaust off. Spray the bolt on the band clamp that holds the factory cat-back on with some WD-40 about a hour before you do the install. When you do start installing it. Just fit it front to rear and tighten the clamps int he same order. Making sure everything is fitting right before you tighten them down. Believe me Ray Charles could install it.

I cut my stock exhaust at the I pipe right before it goes over the axle.

Cool man. You can wake the neighbors up now. I'll have LT's and a ORY in front of my LM next week. Most say it will sound like crap. But we'll see. If it does i'm just going to get a Hooker or Magnaflow with a E Cutout in the I-pipe
