my buddy put my greddy on & just jacked up the back & put jackstands under it. we didn't really need to raise the front. total install time was around 1-1.5 hrs. here's a pic or two:





btw: taillights have been changed, so no comments :fawk: both sets were gifts & i tried each to see which i liked & decided i didn't like either

 

those lights make me :barf: Glad you got rid of them:bigok:

The exahust is :bigok: Looks like it sounds deep as hell.

 

the sound is deep but not too loud. in the car the short-ram intake is louder

 

You should have enough room if you just raise the back up. If you can, have a second person to hold the exhaust up for you while you bolt it in/out, I did my install at like midnight, so I had to resort to using some boxes to hold the exhaust up while I maneuvered around, took alot of extra time. Liquid wrench/bolt remover fluid definitely helps, I wouldnt have been able to get the cat-bolts off without the stuff. It also helps if you have a second ratchet extension with a moveable head, reaching the top bolt on the cat-converter is a biatch to reach. Also, for the midpipe hanger, follow the hangers connection to the chassis and youll see two bolts, if you unbolt these, the hanger itself comes offa the car, making removal and install a heck of a lot easier!

 

in Colorado you might have to cut the bolts then take the cat out and bang out the old cut bolts and use new ones, but dont forget the anti-seize, that will save you from them rusting again
