1)Reverse car onto 10" ramps, put parking break on
2) place jack (with hockey puck on it)under driver side suspension plate (silver steel plate next to rear wheel)
3) jack up side enough to fit two planks of wood under the tire. (total height = 4")
4) lower jack so car rests on wood
5) repeat for passenger side
Just to clarify, you rolled the back wheels up on the 10 inch ramp and then elevated the front wheels on a couple of 2x4's? It is necessary to raise the front if you're just bolting on a cat back system?

And congrats on the new exhaust OP
