Corsa exhaust install

Hey guys I was currious as to how high you really need to jack the back of your car up to install a cat back? I just got my new/used exhaust in today and want to put it on myself but have no lift. I know that one of the sides either driver or passenger is a little bit of a pain and you must twist so much that you must raise the back of the car pretty high. So I should put wood blocks on my jack and then raise the car up and implace jack stands but will I need wood for the jack stands to? Thanks for any insight guys,
Patrick

Just cut the pipes off on the stock one, it is worthless and then you don't have to get it that high. The Corsas come in two pieces so you won't have the height issue when you put them back on.

I had to go 37" to keep from cutting the stock pipes. What a pain. That was 4 years ago and they are still taking up space in the shed. I shudda cut them.
