you could but you would have a bitch of an annoying time getting it to go in. it took 2 people for me to get the parts in. so no lift or a jack would be a bad choice. lift it or you'll have a bad day of installation

Its pretty simple...

Jack up front of car and put on jackstands, repeat for the rear. Remove 02 sensors, set to the side. Unbolt stock exhaust. Install new exhaust. Done

i can't even get my head under my car without jacking it up....

there'd be no way I could have installed my cat-back without jacking it up.

He's not gonna install it without lifting the car somehow, its impossible. He HAS to lift it up off the ground somehow.

Even if he just jacked up the front and crawled underneath to pull it off its hangers and unbolt it from the cat that would suffice.
