Excellent write-up for those considering the installation.
Now, go slap some LT's in front of those Borlas to really wake the car up.

I couldn't get the over axle pipes to go on while attached to the main rear assembly. I had to get the rear assembly on first also, then fit the over axle pipes to the rear assembly. I used my floor jack to help hold the rear assembly up while getting the over axle pipes attached.
That was a great description, just like I remember it from last summer.

Like others have pointed out nice write up.....where the hell were you 2yrs ago I did the install my self as well the sway bar was a pain in the **** I didnt have the backend on ramps, I had it jacked up and let me tell ya when pulling the the exhaust down(borla stingers) things got a little hairey,next time I put an exhaust on a vette it will be on ramps,like you said the swaybar helped with the install for the mufflers,next time my course of action will be ramps,remove swaybar,lube the rubber hangers(does make a differnce)then reinstall the swaybar then put mufflers over the axel.it was all worth it to me after hearing the sweet start up of the stingers,if I could do it all over again I wouldnt have used the borla mid pipe,only because later if I want to add any brand of longtube headers you cant use the borla mid pipe therefore you will have no cats the only header manufacture I found that will bolt directly to the mid pipe is b&b again you will have no cats,not a big deal if where you live doesnt have emmision checks,dont mean to ramble on just trying to give a heads up for the next guy...AGAIN GREAT WRITE UP
