Smile installing mugen axle back exhaust today

I am going to be installing the mugen axle back exhaust today, after work on my 2011 fit sport. Is it an easy install? and also, if anyone had any problems installing it, what should I look for. Oh and also has anyone jacked up the rear of the car up at the jack point in the middle of the gas tank with no issues? I don't want to bend anything thanks guys

I don't know about the mugen axle back.

I see a problem with "has anyone jacked up the rear of the car up at the jack point in the middle of the gas tank" as the gas tank is up front under the front seats.

666.00 I know I'm nuts but I figured my car was worth it and I don't usually spend money on myself because I'm cheap

Do you see where The Ultimate Collection of DIY Guides has the jack stands? They are not on that silver part.

Well, I installed the mugen exhaust and I must say it was very easy. I used my factory jack to lift the rear tire. took off the tire to make the install a little easier. take off and install took about 20min first impresion of the muffler was I thought it was as quite as the factory muffler, after taking it out on the freeway to burn a little packing out its just the exhaust I was looking for. yes its a little spendy, but after you hear it who cares you only live once right. so if you're looking for a great sounding axle back don't hesitate buy the mugen.

Not trying to be critical, but the tire jack is not sufficient for undervehicle work. It barely feels safe enough to change a tire with. While it is mechanical and less prone to failure than a hydraulic jack, at least in theory, it has a very small base area. Use a jack stand, your life could depend on it.

I was going to use my small floor jack, but I left it at home because I thought my dads humungo snap on jack would lift it. It would but its so big it would crush other items so I decided to use the fits jack and thank you, I did use stands for safety. and you would think the fits jack would be flimsey but it was quite stout. Including the stands
