Borla S-Type cat back install. Need a lift to do?

[bannonm]

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Borla S-Type cat-back exhaust. Does anyone have experience doing the install themselves? I'm interested to know if a lift is required or can I do the job using floor jacks.

Thanks

I installed my Atak cat back in my garage with a floor jack and stands. You should be fine.

I just put in my SW retro catback by myself in the garage. Floor jack and 4 jack stands. It took a while but was dooable.

I installed my Borla ATAK catback last year with jack stands. Not hard at all.

They answered you above ,about the install but Man the sound is great

Why you need to put the front end up on jack stands? Wouldn't UT be enough to use ramps or rear-end jack stands?

In order to do the install you have to also be at the front end of the car. It really helps to have this extra room to work.
Note: The stock exhaust is heavy and you remove it in one piece. When removing, it may fall on you (Don't ask me how I know). It would help to have an extra pair of hands to help.

Sorry for the typos in my last message. Using tapotalk on my iPhone and my accuracy isn't great.

Thanks! Can you explain why you need to be at the front of the car? For an axle-back, I thought you only had to cut off the stock mufflers and hang the new ones in place?

I was answering the OP's question. He stated that he was getting a catback system. For the axleback it would not be necessary to raise the front of the car but the extra room always makes it nice.

Doh! That makes a lot more sense!
