SVTBILL (sorry I have to call out by name but I can't quote any posts right now cause my mouse is being a rat) So you just left a jack on the diff. No jack stand? Is it alright to jack it up by the diff. no damage can occur?

missed the posts before my last must have been typing. I am pretty sure mac is not a bolt together at the h, the h part is one piece. I believe that bbk is a bolt together H.
The passenger side flange will give you problems getting past the K-member. Tip: Put a block of wood on the floor jack and position the wood under the crank pulley. Jack up on the engine a little and the back of the engine will go down just a little. This makes it a whole lot eaiser to get the new H pipe in there. As stated above, do not bolt the cat back up first. Good luck and enjoy.

well you can bend some of the metal on the bottom...but if you have a jack with a big dish youll be alright...and yes, we did get under the a car on a jack [] jackstands in the front, jack in the back

what do you mean loosen up my catback?

Wouldn't I have to loosen up the motor mounts to jack the engine a little?

I could put a jack stand under the diff. if I have enough right? I planned on needing 6. 2 in front 2 in rear and 2 to support my catback.
