theres nothing wrong with the Diy route but..............getting it adjusted up on your own, in the cold, on your back with the cars floor an inch from your nose isnt fun...

then theres the rubbers, a total cnut sometimes...

thats if your exhaust comes off easy, rusty bolts and not enough room to get the leverage..

use some sealent as they always need that extra help to seal, its not a perfect interference fit..

Exhaust putty is useless imo just a temp fix it all flakes and drop off after a few weeks
