I recently got a 99 Cobra and I am eager to swap out the exhaust. Since the pipes go right by the Differential where is the best spot to use a hydraulic jack to lift up the back end of this car?

Damn, I already have those...why didn't I think of that. h:Cobra Dude said:Buy a pair of Rino or another brand of ramps (under $20) and back your car up on the ramps.

Can anyone confirm?
