Passenger Side flange at rear axle section can be turned all the way to the left to go higher before tightening..
4 hands are better than 2
Drivers Side flange at rear axle section can be turned all the way to the Right to go higher before tightening..
4 hands are better than 2
- Vice versa for going slightly lower
It will take some trial & error to get both Tips perfect, but en extra set of eyes helps very much too..

I have the Street version of the Joe Z exhaust on my car for about two weeks and its the BEST.
I get compliments on it from all my friends.
Everyone should get this if they can afford it.
Thanks Joe Z for a great exhaust.

I live in California too. Haven't installed them yet.. I am planning on doing it my self soon.
Joez - quick question. I got the crows foot style O2 sensor socket but not sure about the size, what kind of breaker bar do I use (pics). I am new to all this. it looks similar to the one you used. Thanks..

rent it from AutoZone for free bro, only 30$ deposit, got my money back after I returned the sockets to them. (they gave me 3 types in the box, but only the one from your picture works)
Spray some wd40 before untight the o2 sensor, it really help. I also use the 1/2 in. drive wrench for that socket.

The most important part will be to have the car placed on jack stands properly if your doing this at home, with a proper jacking tool.
I know you mentioned you are " new to all this "..
To be very honest with you (or anyone esle), if you never really worked on cars, this would NOT be a good first time for this type of install..
Having the car on a lift at a shop will makes things a whole lot easier..
You may want to explore having this installed at a shop, if you have never installed a Full exhaust system before.
Just some friendly advice to ALL that read this..

You will need various tools to remove the stock exhaust... None are special, except the O2 socket.

I have 4x6 ton jack stands and have a hydraulic jack which should do the job. Hope fully everything will go smoothly. The only thing I am worried about is the O2 sensor, I read that many people had a problem with this. If all goes good I might just post a DIY on this. Although I wont be doing this till end of October when I move into my new house.
