Default Cat back change?

So, removing the BB Fusions this week and replacing them with the Akro's (arrive Monday)... Can I get my rear end high enough in my garage to switch out OR do I need a lift.? Looks pretty straight forward... I just don't know if I can fish the over the axle part out with rearend jacked up. Thanks in advance...

I had no problems at all swapping my Fusions for modded Z06s with a couple of bottle jack's and jackstands.

Yes it can be done but it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Drop the rear sway. And have fun on the passenger side. Such joy to be found there. Be careful. I use a quickjack. Nice and stable.

I replaced my stock with PRT 2 days ago. I did it in my driveway, just chocked the fronts and got it pretty high up. Got the mufflers out pretty quick with no problems. Passenger side is a tight fit though.
