how difficult would it be to do all that on a scale of 1-10 (1 - being average joe, 10 - Mechanic)?

Ummm well I couldn't find any literature saying you have to wrap it but I felt it was a good idea. It can get quite hot back there at times and if Nissan felt it good to put a heat shield on it, it had to be for a good reason. So I wrapped it.lol it cost about $10 at pep boys.
