Subject: headers/exhaust installation

Those that have installed aftermarket headers and/or exhaust:

How do-able is the installation at home on ramps or jackstands?  In
particular I'm wondering how much clearance is needed to drop the
header and fish it out from under the car.

I also noticed that several people had problems w/ breaking studs on
the cat when installing aftermarket exhausts.  Is the concensus that
these nuts should be cut w/ a splitter rather than trying to wrench
them off?

Any thoughts appreciated.
