Mine went through the top. The PITA was getting the stock manifolds out while still attached to the CATS.

I had mine up on 4 jack stands as far as the floor jack would take it. I put the passenger side in from the bottom and the driver side in from the TOP!!! SO, use you best judgement.. just be safe! The more room the better I say.. as long as the car is stable.

I used Rhino ramps on my install and that was enough room. They went in from the top with the valve covers, etc. removed.

I didn't take my valve covers off.. just the coil packs and that was a Huge PITA!
