Just lift the car by the frame and take the wheels off, you should have no problem getting the stock exhaust off.

If you're going to cut it you are going to need to cut it where the pipe goes over the axel. If you don't cut it you'll have to raise the car up a lot more in order to be able to twist/turn the pipes.

Depends on how high you can get the car. If you cant get the car high enough, even with the wheels off, you wont have enough space.

If you're going to cut it you are going to need to cut it where the pipe goes over the axel. If you don't cut it you'll have to raise the car up a lot more in order to be able to twist/turn the pipes.
^ Thats right

The new system should have an extra joint sothat you can install it no matter if you cant get it high enough to take out the stock pipes.

If you have a lift you should be fine.

You have to angle the tailpipes almost straight downto get the rest of the pipe to clear the axles. If you dont have a lift or a really tall jack, you will hit the tailpipes on the ground before they clear the axles.
