you car has jacking points for the stock jack, I usually use that then get a regular jack on the frame rail. At least put the jack stands under the frame.

to add to this...

yes your going to want jack stands as well.

never trust your jack to hold the cars weight for an extended amount of time.

you can do it on jack stands.

it's not that hard to do if you have basic mechanical skills.

but if you don't trust yourself take it and get it done.

Looks like you might need both of these. The plastic ramps at the autoparts store suck! I guess the worst thing tht could happen is a serious exhaust leak making your car act up badly or you could forget bolts and it could fall off while you are driving.

Unless you got some major extension and some swival head sockets i dont see how you can do it your self. Just jack your car up and look how high up your stock pipe goes to meet with the manifold. But im also a HORRIBLE machanic..took me 1hr to replace a damn fog lamp!
