so who's ever installed an exhaust while on jackstands?

[eriemoto.]

just wondering who, and if so, how much of a bitch it was to install a catback with the car lifted on just jackstands. i've been waiting to install mine, but i can't find anyone to let me use their lift should i just wait and keep looking, or don't even bother and just slap it on in my driveway?

I got mine made so they installed mine on the lift =P. Haha anyway I would recommend another set of stands if your one manning it. Main reasons?

1. Acts as an extra pair of hands for "support"
2. Make life somewhat easier.

The driveway method is ok its just gonna take you a bit longer but you can get it done. The bitch is fittin under the car. Cat backs arent too bad just get your pb blaster ready and your jams on lol.

start PB blastering it now so it soaks in

i did mine on jackstands. unbolted the 3 cat bolts, undid the hangers and pulled it all out in one piece. threw the new one on in one piece as well. 10 min max

[casterX]

i did.. on 2pairs of jackstands.. just get yourself a breaker bar short enough to fit under the car, pb blaster(generously apply it on the nuts/bolts atleast 24hrs beforehand) and a nice pair eye protection goggles..

haha, im a small dude, so fitting under the car shouldn't be that big of a problem. i'm gonna set the car on 4 stands, and probably use a cinder block or something to use for support

heres a tip...use wd40 on the rubber exhaust hangers, makes slipping them on and off a ton easier

cool, i have all new hangers, so they would be a bitch to get on w/ out some sort of lube

its doable with one jackstand on the passenger side . just put it fairly and check and make sure everything is safe...the more times you do it the easier it gets.

hmm, you think it'll be safe with just 2 stands on the passenger's side front and rear?

[starchland]

oh yeah I do that all the time. However its just as safe as the user lets it be. Make sure its flat and level, the wheels are chocked, the car is in gear and the brake is on. and use common sense when placing the jack stands and stuff under the car. I always put a wheel or two under the car when im under there in a safe place, so that if something were to happen it would land on the wheel. Also not a bad idea to have the jack somewhere on the chassis as well just as a 3rd point.

I r not small. But I have 4 2 ton stands anyway I just jack it up on all 4s and do it if it was me. Or jack the rear high as hell and support it with my 6 ton stands but my jack has to jack it up that high first lol.

i have an auto, so park should suffice and for sure i'm going to have more then the 2 jacks as safeties. i'll probably use blocks of would and my full spare, and whatever else i can find

i've only got 2 2-ton jacks that go up to 13" or something. not high at all, but i think it's good enough for 2 perches on the stands

[accordaffair]

I have....eh it's a bitch, but not the biggest bitch, yeah pb blaster...they've already gotten the main points

[wed3k]

do me a favor and dont use cinder blocks.

i did an exhaust on rhino ramps before.
