Default Access to a lift?

Does anyone have access to a lift (east valley if at all possible)? I can put my car on jackstands, but this would probably make life much, much easier. thx

I'm in Flagstaff so can't help you - but I used a set of low approach ramps from Wal-mart (19.99) and backed up onto them. Perfect clearance for installing my exhaust.

I got 4 milk crates from behind Safeway ($0) and the car jack.....



























J/K - I have a floor jack and stands - worked fine for me.

Use WD-40 like mentioned, or Liquid Wrench, & let it sit for an hour. I have a breaker bar you can borrow if u want. The ID is about 1 in and fits nicely over a ratchet handle. Works wonders.

Here's a preview:

Kinda scary buying an exhaust you've never heard before, but it's exactly what I wanted looks-wise. I hope it doesn't drone like a SOB.
From what I've read on it tho, it's supposed to be fairly quiet for a single. Which probably means it will be pretty loud.
