This isn't an issue though since the stock cat will come right off at that point.

Some guys aren't so lucky though and have to torch/cut the bolts off. Just soak those puppies in PB Blaster the night before and hope for the best.

You'll have plenty of room with jack stands. We actually did the second install with just the front on ramps.

Do you think it'll be hard to break the top bolt loose even on a brand new vehicle? Thanks for the advise. I was more worried about having enough room to maneuver pieces of a CBE because they are longer. OK, I may have to go buy some tools...cool!
