Yes, your screwed! Seriously though, you NEED jack stands to do this. You have to support the car by the frame, and let the rear hang as low as possible by it self. If your lucky, you might be able to pull out the intermediate pipe. If not, your gonna have to cut her out. Youll want the car as high off the ground as possible, and DO NOT WORK UNDER THE CAR WITHOUT STANDS.

Good Luck!
