Cat Back Install
Finally got my Corsa Tigersharks on. Thought I would show how high I had to lift it to get the factory exhaust off. The blocks are 10x10's. The scary part was lifting it up high enough to get both blocks underneith the tires. I went very slow. I have both front tires 5" off the floor with blocks front and back to prevent rolling. Had just enough room (scraped the tips on the floor).

I just took mine to a muffler shop to have them remove the old exhaust and put on the new one. Cost me like $50 and they made sure the tips lined up. Took like 25 minutes.
I would be too scared to get under my car that high off the ground!

I was not willing to rig a setup to get the car high enough.

Thanks for the pics.
I'm thinking of swapping cat-back's as well but I just don't have the ***** to lift my car that high.
Luckily, I found a "rental garage" in my city which allows you to rent their 2 post lift for $20/hr. Not a bad price for some extra assurance.

Like I said, it was scary lifting it up high enough to get the blocks under the tires, but perfectly safe. I went very slow. I wish I had a rental lift, but I couldn't get the car out anyway......too much snow. I wasn't worried once the car was on the blocks. It couldn't go anywhere. I almost gave up the first time I tried, but thought about it a couple weeks and decided to give it another try. If at first you don't succeed........
