Default Using KwikLift for Corsa Tiger Sharks?

Has anyone used their Kwiklift to install Corsa cat backs? I think my friend could use my KL easier and more safely than jack stands. He's cutting the stock exhaust off--I'd hate for him to come over and find it's too low. Thanks--

Yes, you could probably use the KL, because I've heard of guys putting them on using jack stands. The KL would allow the car to be raised higher. If you take the swaybar down (loosen the four bolts, for the bushings), you won't have to cut the exhaust off, and could save it, in case you'd need it again. Good Luck!

kwik lift worked great to install my slp pipes,, I really dont think you will need to cut the old as you may be high enough with the lift. especially if you loosen the sway bar....easy job

Yep, You can use the Kwik-Lift I used it to install a Corsa system on my 02 and remove it when I traded it in. You don't need to cut the stock system either. HEB
