I did mine originally on a lift, and it was a pain getting that bottom passenger side nut off, even with a huge arsenal of air tools and extensions. Probably because I had read so much about it that I psyched myself out.
Once we got that off, the rest was a breeze.
I took that pipe off and swapped my stock one back on a year or so ago, and did it myself, on jackstands, in my garage, without using air tools, and it took me maybe an hour all together, with no help. It's really just pretty intimidating at first, but once you get that bottom passenger side nut off, it's smooth sailing.
+1 for disconnecting the battery before you do anything. That starter crap is RIGHT next to those passenger side nuts,so you gotta be very careul. I promise you you'll spark it if you don't disconnect the battery first.
I also left the stock manifold->midpipe gasket in there, because I only had 5k on the car, and live in AZ. Mine was in perfect condition, but I definately would have a spare on hand just in case. (You'll end up doing this Sunday morning where no dealerships are open, then have to sit all day long looking at it wondering how it's going to sound. The excitement is too much.)
Anyway, I loved the sound mine made, but hated the torque shift. I had the Mac O/R H. I sort of felt like I lost streetability at low speeds. I also hated the fumes.
