Very easily done on ramps, I can swap axleback on ramps by myself in about 15-20 minutes. There's really nothing to it. One trick I use it dish soap on the exhaust hangers both to take the old exhaust off and for the new one, makes getting them off 10x easier.

I can now deff hear the turbos spool and it sound so sexy. I will post pictures as soon as I can. The job was really easy the problem was the hanger they are a pitta to take off. But I for it done. Thanks to everyone that helped me. I would love to help anyone that was in my same position.

Ramps is all you need. I'm kind of small so it wasn't a problem depending how big you are u can get in there.

Ramps ate really easy to use. Make sure you are on a flat surface and just back up on to them. Have someone watch while u back up on the ramps. Also if you have jack stands use them for extra safety. Be safe and if you need help let us know.

I just got these instead of ramps. Sort of the same thing as working under jack stands, except I feel much safer working under wheel cribs
