If I understand correctly the pipe is one piece instead of two... So it is just like any other catback... ie flowmaster, dynomax, magnaflow...

You should be able to fish the pipes in there very carefully with the car fully raised. I installed 2.25" pipes and it was a mother f'er and a half!!! ButI got them in there eventually. The only time you should have to unbolt the shocks to let the **** end go lower would be to remove the complete factory assembly as one peice without cutting it.

His are 1 piece, from muffler to t-pipe. The ones you speak of are still 2 piece, the mufflers are separate from the t-pipes. Good luck on the fishing trip.

Try to take out the lowershock bolt and the rear spring with the suspension hanging,then see if you can get the pipes in.
