just wondering who, and if so, how much of a bitch it was to install a catback with the car lifted on just jackstands. i've been waiting to install mine, but i can't find anyone to let me use their lift should i just wait and keep looking, or don't even bother and just slap it on in my driveway?

I got mine made so they installed mine on the lift =P. Haha anyway I would recommend another set of stands if your one manning it. Main reasons?
1. Acts as an extra pair of hands for "support"
2. Make life somewhat easier.
The driveway method is ok its just gonna take you a bit longer but you can get it done. The bitch is fittin under the car. Cat backs arent too bad just get your pb blaster ready and your jams on lol.

haha, im a small dude, so fitting under the car shouldn't be that big of a problem. i'm gonna set the car on 4 stands, and probably use a cinder block or something to use for support

its doable with one jackstand on the passenger side . just put it fairly and check and make sure everything is safe...the more times you do it the easier it gets.

oh yeah I do that all the time. However its just as safe as the user lets it be. Make sure its flat and level, the wheels are chocked, the car is in gear and the brake is on. and use common sense when placing the jack stands and stuff under the car. I always put a wheel or two under the car when im under there in a safe place, so that if something were to happen it would land on the wheel. Also not a bad idea to have the jack somewhere on the chassis as well just as a 3rd point.
