Default GHL exhaust = A ++++

I just finished my GHL Magnum 2- tip install today. One word - beautiful!
The craftsmanship is A+++. The hardest part was removing the factory muffler section - you must be sure to have the car jacked up high enough in the rear to twist and manuver the things out. Did this all in my garage. My biggest concern before ordering was the tip size. They DO NOT stick waaay out in the back and look like a couple of cannons. I was able to adjust them to have them fit the rear body line. I have them fitting flush with the lower portion of the rear between the 'gills'. Looks 100 times better than stock. All I need now is an x-pipe.

Not yet - I just got a digital camera yesterday, and am not too familiar with it yet. Does anyone have a link on how to post pics here. I need step-by-step directions. Can anyone email me the directions if no linky?

How high did you have to jack your car up to install them, and how did you do it?

I used two small floor jacks on each rear jacking point on the car. I cut 2 small 4" wood 'jacking pucks' from a 2x4 and placed them on the jack pad on the rear to make it higher. DO NOT use a long piece of 2x4 that rest on the lower portion of your rockers. They will crack!
I'm not sure of the exact height, but my front lower spoiler was just about touching the floor - if not touching it slightly.
BTW - I put two jack stands under the rear end to be safe, as well as chocked the front tires.
