The OEM exhaust are notoriously heavy and awkward, so be careful under there!

I installed mine using 4 jack stands so it can be done but a lift is ideal

Default I am a wrncher myself, but opted for the 125 dollar install of mufflers and some custom piping.
cheap enough for me.

Default So the guy can afford an S4, but can't afford to have a shop do it?
Why take the risk?
