Trade you for some hilarious jokes, and the new test pipe that it comes with it.

Hi! Thanks for the offer. I think I'm going to have to pay a shop, don't mind it, just don't know of one that will do solid work.

I thought I could jack up the back end, and do the catback but from searching the site sounds like I need to put all four corners up on jack stands, and not too comfortable doing that.

You don't need to jack up four corners to install the catback. Jack up the rear is enough

If you need a professional shop, let me know! He's an ex-Mitsubishi trained ASE Mechanic.

Really?!? Searching the forum has me thinking otherwise. Would be awesome if I can get away with just the back.

That would be great. Just started calling places. One shop was $150 for catback only, no test pipe.

You can reach all the bolts/hangers to change the catback by only jack up the rear.
If you're changing the cat, then you have to jack up four corners.

The stock cat is a 2.5 inch flange - do you need to do anything to mate uo with a 3" cat back? I didn't even think about it until I saw an adaptor sold by one vendor.

Yeah you might need the adapter since your catback is 3 in
