He is using the jack points (to support left & right jack stands)........but it's a tad tough to both jack & stand at one point at the same time.....that's why the engine case lift is a good short cut. If you don't have a good (low-rise) jack to do that, you can use the method of jacking right front (at the jacking point) high enough to set jack stand under the right rear........but the the engine shortcut is better/easier (and for low cars, this is often the method shops also use).

Basically, I don't trust myself to choose the right point w/o seeing a picture to compare it to.

jacks are too cumbersome and not earth quake proof. i just slide an air mattress underneath the car and inflate it. works like a charm.

That was easy
Following the instructions provided on the Imaginauto.com website, I was able to remove the stock exhaust in about 1.5 hours. I put the jack in the middle of the engine with the wood block like everyone said and it was a piece of cake.
Now, just need to find some time to get the Fabspeed installed. Probably another 10 days before I have a chance to get to it with business and travel. At least its 40 and raining out so not like I'm in a big hurry.
Any comments on how easy it is to get all the sensor cables back into the proper retaining clips?
Also have clear side markers on order and will send my rear bumperettes to Eric and have them painted to match the car. By spring, I'll be stylin'.
Thanks for all the help.
