Default easy way to remove/install cat-backs

I just installed some Z06 Ti's today, and want to thank whoever said to use a shipping dock rather than jacking the car up. I don't have access to a hoist, and didn't want to pay a shop to do the install. I took the car to work, and carefully backed up to the shipping dock. Old exhaust came out in 10 minutes, and the Ti's went in almost as quick.

The hardest part was making up a custom CAGS eliminator (too cheap to buy one!!)

I hope this image attachment works.
