That's probably why it is so high in the air.. Changing exhaust. And....to do so without cutting any pipe, it needs to be way up in the air like that.
Even still.. a very dumb practice. Is a life worth swapping exhaust? There isn't even a fail safe backup... beyond crazy.

I had that exact same jack blow a seal and collapse last fall. I would never get under a car without jack stands under it. I had a friend back in high school lose his brother when his car fell on him. The stock exaust is worthless. i would have just cut it off.

Ive already seen one fall and bust the fans in two, and it wasnt even that far off the ground. Tell him to get it down before he hurts himself and the car. Look at the thread in TECH that says DISASTER IN THE GARAGE its the one I fixed.

Why are the jack-stands in the pic not being used? With all that wood laying around you could put it under the jack stands and probably get enough height. If not, I wouldn't crawl under that for anything.
