Removing V6 exhaust

[klio]

If I want to remove the full exhaust all the way to the headers, would it be a big job? subframe has to come off? what else?

10hour job IIRC

Holy$$hit, 10 hours for an exhaust? its a 10 min job for normal cars

yup, prepare for a good time.
Thats if your are replacing the manifolds aswell.

you can do it all i situ, but you will hurt your hands and sped a long time cussing as you remove a million heat sheilds and nuts you cant see.

So far I know that the subframe has to come off... What else is involved where I have to pay attention to? Or are the rest of the steps pretty straight forward?
