Swapping muffler system.
Hey guys. Just how do I get the old mufflers out and the Z06 system in?
Do I need to drop the rear cradle? I have the car about 2' off the ground and no matter how I twist and turn the critter it won't come out.

oh, yeh... did you drop the sway bar? just undo the two mounts - you shouldn't have to disconnect the end links.

Whoa that is too high I am getting dizzy. lol
I'll go and get another set of jack stands for this job.
I suppose that I will need to start looking for a lift for this car. Everything that I plan on doing looks like the car needs to be way up in the air.
