Default picture request: underbody of car

I'm looking for any pictures of the underside of a car. A local exhaust shop can do a full exhaust headers->back for around 1k with magnaflow hiflo cats, resonator and mufflers. I'm looking to create some designs before putting the car on the lift, so I can play with ideas. Anyone?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but where on this picture are the floor jack jacking points for the front and back ends? Where would you put the jack to lift each end and put jack stands at the pinch points of the side rails?

I'm going to hijack this thread too

Is that a track model? If so, where are the "underbody diffusers"? I'm guessing the black pieces just forward of the rear wheels?

I would assume Jack at rear diff and front crossmembers, then stands under rails.

All the Z's have those two plastic pieces. And don't you two think that common sense would tell you that you put the jack where you see the lift arms holding the car up in the picture?

Not if you want to put the jackstand there after it is in the air.

Look where it is sitting. There is plenty of room on the same row to put a stand or jack. It goes down the whole side of the car just like any other vehicle. Most places jack the rear of a car up by the rear end anyways and put the stands on the sides.

There is allegedly an appropriate place that will allow you to jack up the entire front with one jack; similarly, there is allegedly an appropriate place to jack up the entire rear of the car with one jack. Those are the 2 places I'm looking for.

Thank you, Captain Obvious, for pointing out that you can jack the car up from those 4 points shown, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a floor jack. Those are just the points shown in the manual for using the supplied jack to change each tire one by one.

Well then use the rear end (differential) for the rear and the front crossmember (right behind the oil pan) for the front to jack it up. If you want to be creative use the gas tank and oil pan (jk).

Default These the floor jack point locations

I asked this question just recently in another thread.

I have a 2 1/2 ton Floor jack, and want to jack the front with the hydro jack and then put the 2 jack stands at the factory jack points.

From a previous diagram, it seems that the correct location for jack points using a FLOOR Jack would be as follows:

(I think??)


Is this right? It's a ***** however do get the full range of motion from the jack handle with the front mounting point so far in (and the car being so damn low)
