The member might not have tools or be mechanically inclined thus probably may be his reason asking for help. If you live in Houston I can help you.

Freehold, NJ? Agree that lift is not necessary if removing bumper.

I did it on my 997 with just ramps in my small garage but rear bumper was removed and Akrapovic had very detailed instructions. I don’t mind helping out with your install as i’m doing the same on my RS in the spring. I have the necessary tools but instructions on 991 bumper removal would be helpful.

I recently installed mine on drive on ramps.
If you are installing the 100mm tips, I would highly recommend picking up a can of high temp matte black spray paint (from Lowes or Home Depot) to paint the front of the bypass (the portion you can see - where the tips are installed). It looks 100 times better.

Burning Brakes
- No need for lift
- No need to remove bumper either
1) Buy a set of $40 ramps at any parts store like 1Gunner's Porsche 911 Touring with the GT3 badge. Reverse over the ramps, use two jack stands as extra precaution, put a block on the front tires, handbrake and parking applied, key off ignition, place a King size bed comforter folded in 2 or 3, get all the underneath lightning you can, have your professional car technician (PCT from here on) wear safety glasses because there is a lot of debris under these cars.
2) Have the PCT loosen up the two flanges attaching the cats to the side mufflers (if you still enjoy having them there, they should not exist).
3) Have the PCT remove (10) 13mm nuts attaching the upper pipes (2 nuts) and lower pipes (3 nuts) into the center muffler.
4) Have the PCT remove the two bands retaining the center muffler. #2 and #4 are done with an allen key (I don't recall the number), everything is hand tight, the muffler parts don't require heavy torque, just small tightening, except the headers where exact torque in a cross-tightening pattern must be followed.
5) There are (6) 13mm nuts supporting the side mufflers, have the PCT remove them so he has some play between a side muffler and the center muffler.
6) Have the PCT push the center muffler to one side and the side muffler to the opposite side, so they be disconnected, then pull the center muffler out.
7) Have the PCT put back the 4 flanges that were attached to the stock center muffler and the 10 nuts back to it, take pictures and sell on ebay, or add to office, attic, basement.
8) Have the PCT connect the Sharkwerks, then tighten the side mufflers (6 bolts), tighten the headers/cats flange with the side muffler.
9) Have the PCT make sure your Sharkwerks is centered so move it left and right, install clamps, tighten the clamps.
10) Have the PCT exchange tips from old Center to Sharkwerks.
Enjoy one of the best sounding GT3 for the money. I had them and they made a great sound with the valves open, but with valves closed the car was just mute (because of side anchors), and I always want the lightest and best sound from all my cars.
It's an easy DIY project for a PCT.
