Unbolt Y pipe from cats
Unbolt mid pipe from Y pipe
Unbolt mid pipe from muffler
The trickiest part is removing the muffler... I chose to remove the entire brackets instead of the rubber hangers... I found it hard to remove the hangers while stabilizing the mufflers (I worked solo). There are 3 hangers I believe if I remember correctly.
You might want to take it to a shop just because it is easier to maneuver... I was lucky enough to have a friend with a lift so it didn't take me too long. They shouldn't charge you that much though because the job is incredibly straight forward. There was a bit of trimming and a metal shield that needed to be removed with the CNT system... not sure about the ARK one.

Thanks for the pointers Matt... I see lots of pics on the forum of people doing it themselves using jack stands so I thought I'd give it a go. I'll crawl under the car and take another look, but it looks simple enough...
