For me it was which is why I had to cut the stock ones off and get a 24 inch jack to get the new ones in lol

Mission accomplished gentlemen. It was a long 7.5 hours. The passenger side was a real pain in my ass. My hands are all torn up. Also, funny thing. I got the oil dip stick in on the first try. Just sorta stuck it down there and it went right into the block. But with how much of a fight everything else put up, I deserved one thing to me easy!

I had to take the driver side header back off because I didn't attach the cat first. It would have been much easier with help (I did this alone)

I've been driving the car for the last hour. It does sound damn good with my borla s type and I do notice some more power.

This was absolutely exhausting today (slight pun intended). I'll see if I can get a video of it up tomorrow. Cold start tomorrow!

OP, let me know how it works when you pull off of the ramps. I've always been scared to go up on the front end with them because of how badly they slip out from under the rear end when coming down.

Rolled right back off the ramps super slow no issues

My driveway was just sealed. Hence, the ramps sliding cause it's so smooth. Definitely not an issue I thought about!

Congrats on the install, not somthing I attempt myself. I must be whimpy, always have someone help.

The cats should go on first???? No wonder I had such a hard time lmfao. Also I did my headers with my borla atak so I can only imagine what yours must sound like.

When you change your serpentine belt keep it an cut it to fit on your ramps, rib side down to the floor so it grips and it shouldn't move once you but a little weight on it rock steady...

I was going to put my headers on using ramps, but not sure I want to deal with the hassle.

I do find the ramp slid a little, but there is no hassle of using them. Just place something under it. I use jack/jack stand when I need to take the wheel off, and use the ramp on oil change.
