Default Question on Jack stands

Hello Friends,

I purchased a B&B fusion exhaust for my 2005 'vert. I am wondering where I should place my jack stands? I have been reading many,many threads on our forum about pucks and lift points. But I was not able to find anything specific to where to place the jack stands while doing the exhaust.

I Plan to swing down the rear sway bar, and remove the center pipe than install the new axle-back fusion followed by reinstalling the center pipe. I would like to have the stands not be in my way. Can anyone help? thanks !

Don't really need the double pucks though.

You can just back it up on some ramps and skip the jack stands. See this thread.

^^^Nice link! Kinda over the edge with expensive Raceramps!

Overkill even with my home made stands:

They are for serious car repairs.

After jacking up rear of car, use cinder blocks or two stacks of 2 by 10's under rear contact patch, can easily elevate rear of car up 14" for any exhaust work!

OP - sounds like a set of FSM will come in handy for you!

Race Ramp the rear, jack up the front if you need to go back to the Y-pipe.
