Default Need Help Fast!

hey guys

I need some help fast!

I got my GMMG today and instead of bringing it into a shop I decided to install it myself. I got the old exhaust off and got the pipe from the cats to behind the axle in aswell, but when I went to put the actual catback up it won't fit!

I can't get my car high enough it seems with the jack to put it over the axle part! Were you guys able to do this without using a lift??? If so PLEASE help as daylight is fading fast and I'm getting frustrated

If you need pictures let me know and I can take some!

I can't help you more than just saying it has been done many of times with a jack and some stands. I personally have duals so I can't help you on a cat-back.

Nevermind guys, My father and I just decided we'll bring it to a shop tomorrow morning.. it shouldn't take them more than 20-30 minutes.. I do say though, without a catback it sounds MEAN!
