Where did you put the jack at? Did you cut your OE?

Right in the middle of the cross member. The OE isnt worth the steel its made from, so I cut it, but at a good point right where it goes over the cross member so if i sell the car I could put it back on and weld it. If you cut it at the peak of the bend it comes out easy and all after market cat backs are in sections. The hardest part of the whole thing is lining the tips up. installation is a breeze

My sister in Law installed a Corsa Exhaust system on my brothers 99 about 3 months after he purchased it brand new...

He was out of town 3 days on business and she did it all herself in the garage....

Brother almost "crapped" when he came home and started the car...LOL

Seriously if a lady (age 59 at the time...weight of 105 (wet) can install the system by herself ..anyone can do it...

it was his birthday present..BTW. unfortunately the car and his other two Corvettes are still in the garage he died in 2002... his wife will not sell them EVER.
