So for you diy'ers, how big of a pita is it gonna be to remove the header and exhaust from one car, and installing it on the other? (2.4L 99+)

No lift, just hand tools. The exhaust i'm removing is a pacesetter header with a custom 2.5 inch downpipe, and a pacesetter exhaust. Can i just jackup the rear,disconnect the springbolts, remove the header, and slide the exhaust out in one piece? Or am I gonna have to cut some welds to remove the exhaust, then install, than go to a shop to get it welded again?

insight appreciated
thanks

Shouldn't be hard, but it won't come out in one peice.

I didn't think it would. Guess i'll have to grind down the welds. I think i'm gonna throwa resonator in there this time around. I like the sound, but it got a little droney at times.
