i replaced my entire exhaust from the header all the way back to the WS2 on two jack stands. like the other guys i dropped my old exhaust in one piece by removing the hangers but i install everything individually. took me 45mins tops by myself.

i did my whole exhaust from the header all the way to the muffler numerous times on jackstands. as a matter of fact, i just installed the a4 header, a brand new flex pipe, and a brand new magnaflow cat to my existing cat back this past weekend on nothing but jackstands.my daily driver.

thats pretty funnyOriginally posted by wed3kwow, didnt know you can install an exhaust with a jack stand. what kind of tools come integrated into the stand?
it is not hard just take everybodys advice on the pb blaster i did my exhaust with 4 jackstands a 1/2'' drive and a floor jack handle and its was easy, breaking the bolts free is the hardest thing so with the floor jack handle it made it easy the more leverage the easier it will beComment

installed the exhaust today. took a little longer then i expected, but i wanted to make sure everything was perfect. it was worth the time i took doing it (~1.5hours from jacking the car up, to the first start-up). now to go test it

pita, if you ask me and i was not lucky enough to have a lift handy at the time. and stubborn bolts made it extremely hard. also being limited on tools didn't help any. so my car was down for a few days.

I did mine on a lift and there was 4 people working on it together. total time was 10 minutes from lift to lower. we had it all prepped to be put on before we brought it in the shop.
Currently I've been replacing my header/downpipe/cat and I had to cut the downpipe because that shit was siezed! The cat bolts were rusted to all all hell. A simple header replacement turned into header/downpipe and cat... so there went all my money I had set aside towards building up my motor some this summer... now I gotta start all over again.Comment

I did mine on jack stands, Jacked up the drivers side (RHD) and tacked everything in place, removed it, welded it up on the ground then fitted it up.
Not the most fun rolling around on the ground, not to mention welding upside down. But it worked and wasnt too much effort

yup, i lifted the front and put 2 jackstands on the 2 front points behind the wheels. had just enough room to slide under and do the damn thing. since i didnt have another set of hands to hold the pipes in place, i used a can of brakleen and a roll of paper towels as stands, lol
worked real good though. gonna get back under there in about a week to make sure nothing has loosened up on me, and check for any leaks
