Sport Cats Installation
Did some searching but couldn't find a clear answer. To those who DIYed the sport cat installation, did you use a lift/quickjack? ramps? just jack stands?
I have jackstands and could get ramps (though I'm running out of garage space to store things ), but picking up a quickjack for this doesn't seem worthwhile so if I need a lift I'll just find a shop to install them. If ramps are reasonable, any specific units you'd recommend for getting the 911 up without any incidents?

I've had my sport cats on and off quite a few times in my garage using ramps.
It's a safe, simple one-man job, using basic tools.
Takes all of 30 minutes.... with some practice!
Lots of clearance.
Stock catalytic.
Soul 200 cell sport cats.

This. Spray some WD on the bolts. Use a pair of vice grips, small socket, etc. turn the bolt from the bottom and then should be able to thread it out by hand. When reinstalling flip the vband around and put bolt in from the bottom. The next time it will take you longer to put the car on ramps then to swap the cats.

I tried it every way possible to eliminate the O2 sensor CEL. With washers, with spacers and without. Even tried a "new and improved" set of Sport cats using a different catalytic insert from the standard HJS inserts.
Though I did get pretty handy at R n' R ing the cats.
Exactly true, nothing I have tried to date has made a difference on "my car" throwing random O2 sensor CELs.
At the end of the day, aside from slightly annoying, it's really not a big deal.
