The hard part is remove the stock system. If you don't mind cutting the stock pipes, installing the new system should be easy.

Can't cut em' Its a Z06 exuast so if I keep it in tact I can sell it. I figured it was a matter of getting it up high enough. Kinda tough on jack stands:(

You need to get the car very high to get the stock muffler & pipe off. I just did mine today. I am guessing higher than most jacks will go.

Should have used a lift.

Yep, I heard I would need to get the car 3 feet or higher to get the old system off. I hate to have to take it to a shop for a bolt on but its looking that way. May be best as I heard the tips can be a bitch to line up.

Speedworks in Lewisville did my Corsa exhaust. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint!
