Jackstands and a good set of wrenches (preferable Gearwrenches). And a bunch of this stuff:

Technically semtex is correct, the tools for a bolt-in exhaust are pretty minimal. Just have a good metric wrench set and some jacks and jackstands and you're good to go (our stock exhaust bolts are all 14mm, as are the ones on the Stillen cat-back IIRC). However, there can be fitment issues, especially if you're mixing vendors apparently. You might want to at least find a friend who's somewhat familiar with this sort of thing to help you if you're asking the question above. Oh and pick up a can of anti-seize thread lube to use on the bolts too (every auto parts store has it, it's a jar of thick metallic silver-colored paste with a brush inside the cap).

If you really want to make installing an exhaust easy use a lift. But you need to have access to one. Buddying up to a local shop goes a loooooong way for projects like that.
