does anyone know the proper way to lift my car with a floorjack to set on jackstands and where to place the jackstands so I can change my exhaust system.

Personally I think you are better off on a lift or ramps, but check out this link it might help:

id get a low pro floor jack and go under the pumkin holding it there im not sure cuz its an irs car and i,ve never worked on one but for, the front sub frame, it holds your car on when its on the ground as long as you have decent jackstands you should be good and ramps in the front jacstands in the rear would work good too.

:cheers: Also I recommend Rhino Ramps $40 to $50 at Autozone in addition to jack stands.
