Z06 exhaust question
Does the Z06 exhaust come off in one piece like the coupe or are the axle hoops seperate. I was just wondering if I would need to get the car really high to install the Z06 exhaust.
Thanks

i did it on jack stands as well. I think i had the bottom of the back bumper 35" off the ground. It required twisting the exhaust as well as rotating it to get it out in one piece. 40" will definitely make it easier.
Also, if you can lift the front a little it'll be a good idea. my car was not lowered at all, and by the time I had the back jacked up, the air dam was kissing the garage floor.

Z05 Exhaust Install
If you can get it up on a lift, it makes it infinitely easier. Also, you need to torque the sway bar as follows: 49 Ft pounds for the BOLTS and 70 Foot pounds for the NUTS.
