Cat-back to Cat-back Swap - Jacking Height
I'm taking off my GHL Bullets and putting on Corsa Indys. Can I do this easily in the garage on jack stands? I know taking the stock ones off require a super-high height, but I was thinking I should probably able to do this with just a normal jacking height since I have sectional exhausts, is this correct? If so, any recommendations on height?
Also, I don't think I need to drop the rear sway to remove the GHLs, or do I?
I have a 6-speed, if that matters.

Yes, if they brake in half like the Borlas do you should be able to get away with a lot less height. 6 speed doesn't matter.

Are you thinking I need the height to remove the stock system? I do NOT have the stock system. I have GHLs with separate over-axle pipes on the car now, so do you still think I need a lift to remove them and install Corsas?
