Default Corsa Exhaust question

How high do I need to get my C6 off the ground to install Corsa mufflers? I have a pair of 10 foot X 12" wide steel ramps and I'm thinking of making a pair of 10" high timber blocks. Does this seem to be enough? Thanks

The ramps should be all you need. Just back up on them.

I use 2 floor jacks and then support with jack stands.

i jacked up the rear using a regular jack then threw jack stands under probably about 12 or more inches.

an hour max if you do it alone.

You should be fine. I used 8" race ramps. See my post below on my install.

Thanks Dave I like the tip on using my floor jack to raise the car a few more inches for additional clearence and to expect to have to resize the front pipes. Thanks again and to all in the forum.
