Default West or North Houston: Car lift for exhaust switch out.

All, I am looking for recommendations on where to take my car in the west or north Houston area to switch out the exhaust. I want to be sure the car is lifted properly and don't really want to pay an arm and a leg at a dealership to do so.

I am also willing/able to do the work myself if someone has a lift they'd let me use I just am not willing to jack the rear of the car high enough in the driveway to remove the exhaust without cutting it.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I have a set of drive-up ramps that I built that I used to store the vette on. It will get the bottom of the wheels about a foot off the ground. You are welcome to come by and we could swap it out if you like. I live in Needville.

Sounds like you may want to consider joining the Velocity Corvette Club. VCC has a Mohawk lift and all the tools in our garage, available for use by our members. Come on out, join the club and we will even help you put your new exhaust on. Most likely the yearly dues will be equal or less to what you would pay just to put your exhaust on, except you would benefit for 12 months

We are located on the west side of town, north of clay road on Highway 6. We are having a prospective member night this evening, starting at 7:30PM so stop by and check it out. If that time is not good just email me your phone number and we can schedule a better time.

Thanks for the offer, but I am switching exhaust back to stock because I am putting my car up for sale soon. I don't think I'll be joining any clubs right now since it will definitly be hard enough to get rid of the car, I will just be torchering myself to go and hang out with corvette guys after I sell mine.

Thanks again for the offer though, sounds like a good group.
