I have a 2012 GT on order. I would like to know if you can install a cat-bak system without using a lift? (jack stands only). Has anyone done this?

I did it on jack stands. Had no access to a lift. Was a pain. I had the panhard rod unmounted and the shock unmounted to lower the axle as far as i could get it.

Took about 3 hours.

Jack stands here. It took longer than I thought but, it wasn't that bad. You'll need to disconnect the panhard bar on the drivers side to make room.
