I didn't even have to use jack stands or a lift. I just parked mine facing upward on the driveway which has a slight incline to get under the bumper. I agree OP should save the money and do it himself. Some low profile ramps or 2x4's would probably work as well in his case.

+1 for this being an incredibly simple mod. There is a DIY on the forum somewhere that walks you through the process.

I second this. I spent extra money on what I *thought* were high quality metal gaskets from Z1 when I upgraded my exhaust, but they leaked like a sieve. The shop instead used the gaskets that came with the Garageline parts, and they sealed perfectly.

Edit: Afterwards, I tried to give the Z1 gaskets away for free in the Classifieds, but no takers. What does that tell you?

Anything z1 produces is 2nd tier besides there intakes and shorty headers ( but there headers are momentum headers I believe.)
