Default Proper sequence for jacking car

Hi. I'm looking to put my car on jack stands for the first time to do a cat back exhaust and was wondering what the proper sequence was to do it safely.

Thanks,
Dave

For extra insurance you can place a wheel under each side after it's jacked up.

These cars are pretty robust. You're not going to break anything by jacking it up. Pay attention to the jacking points and you (and your car) will be OK.
