    Ok might as well ask. Been looking at some and reading install sheets. 3 feet in the air to install makes sense, but I see some of you have installed with jack stands? Am I right on jack stands?

    what headers? pacesetters? passenger side from the top with starter removed etc, drivers side from the bottom or top with steering knuckle/linkage removed. still need the front of the car up in the air a solid 16-18". i dont like jackstands so i built cribbage like @meissen used (thanks for the idea!) to pull his motor. then i can get whole car in air 24" to bottom of tire, so i have plenty of room for shennanigans. alot safer too, since the car is sitting on a 2'x2' pad under each tire. also made frame holders that slip and lock into the cribs so if im dropping a k or rear it makes life easy and safe.

    Pacesetters and the Y pipe will they line up to the stock tail pipe so I can drive to get it welded?

    For the most part yes. I usually dont like to weld the y pipe to the catback, a slip coupling and 2 band clamps is better, incase u gotta pull a trans or something later it saves u hassle of cutting
