      Just be aware that changing exhaust gas flow may cause other issues if you car is designed to run with back pressure (like effecting engine performance due to changes in exhaust scavenging or may effect catalytic converter performance) , my car tripped some codes when I had a holey muffler for low catalytic converter performance on the post cat lambda sensor. Personally I'd rather keep everything stock as allot of design goes into balancing the exhaust system for peak efficiency and performance (some people fit a massive muffler, it sounds good but in reality they actually loose engine power).

    I guess it's worth mentioning that it's harder than it looks like. So there's a chance that you may stuck with partially dissembled exhaust and having few rusted bolts that are not going anywhere.
    Combine this with axle stand/constant bench press position, much more angle grinder work and maybe bad weather conditions doesn't make that easier. If it's your first time, think of a plan B if you fail, and if there is a chance to find column lift or at least a pit, I'd go that way.
    Some pipes are trickier than others. Imagine that you have to cut off the flange, but there is no room for any couplers.

It would mean the world to me if you just scanned through any of my videos of my engine swap or even just my first start up video! I know you are a busy man, thank you for everything though! I put a cammed 08 4.6 motor into my 2003 mustang gt. So many hours of being on the ground under the car and so many moments of wanting to give up but I pushed and pushed and I finally have it started!
