????Exhaust removal??????
I have a Corsa sport exhaust on the car now. I plan to remove it and install another exhaust. I am pretty sure I can get the new one on with the car on jackstands but not sure if the Corsa will come off easily on stands? I know that C5 exhaust systems sucked *** when trying to do them on stands. Thanks

Just put on a set of corsa sport on a few weeks ago and used jack stands on the rear and ramps on the front, I measured the tips from the floor up and it was 18.5" and was able to remove the stock exhaust without cutting it, so you should have plenty of room.

You shouldn't have any issue. Taking off the stock exhaust with those gigantic mufflers wasn't that bad either. Just make sure to drop the rear sway bar down and you should have more than enough clearance. I did mine with only jack stands on the rear.
Like someone above said, the hardest part is getting the over-axle piece to come loose. That's a bitch sometimes.

If you are careful and have an air chisel, use a dull bit on the side of the clamp to vibrate the assembly. that will get your wd40 where you need it, then get a pry bar between the muffler and the frame and hit it again with the air chisel. it should come off with very minor marking on the clamps. Reassemble with never sieze on the pipes and clamps in case you decide to change it again. I had 3 sets of mufflers on my car in 4 months, corsa sports are on to stay.
