Removing stock Ti system ?
Hi,
I got a quick question is it possible to remove the stock Ti system with just putting the car on a set of ramps ? I dont want to cut it also.
Thanks !

To change mine I had to use a floor jack with a couple of 2x6s to get the rear high enough to get out my stock exhaust. Like the other guy said about 36 inches. Its up to the point that the front bumper cover just kisses the ground.

You need to get it up at least 30 inches. That from the botton of the rear bumper to the ground. The hardest part of the job, is jacking it up high enough. I changed out the stock exhaust for a Ti system in just under an hour, from start to finish.

Why not spend the $50 bucks or so and go to a muffler shop. You'll get a lot more than that out of the uncut TIs and just maybe you can have your new exhaust installed for a little more. My life is worth more than $50-100 bucks.

Take it to a muffler shop and have them do the work. That's what I did and they charged me $50 for the job - took about an hour.

Jack stands and wood and ramps up over 32" is a really bad idea.....Unless you have a Death Wish
