Hello,
  I am looking at swapping catbacks with another local member but neither of us have access to a lift.  How much of a pain would it to do the install with a set of ramps?  The weather is definitely not optimal in Chicago right now but if we caught a nice day I was considering doing it in the driveway.  Alternatively if any of you Chicago guys could recommend a place in the suburbs that would give a fair price that would work as well.

Thanks!

I would consider doing it on a lift due to the cold weather,had my Corsa cat back done a while back at a buddy's shop which took less than an hour and charged me 100.00 for the install,but on a warmer day it can be done on jacks,best of luck.  Z

I did mine with a set of jack stands. it wasn't the BEST situation, but it worked for sure.  If you do plan on going this route and don't have a pneumatic wrench... get one of these with some 1/2" extenders and 1/2" swivel joints.

That's one way to earn some street cred, peppe!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
