How expensive is the exhaust system for these beasts? I kind of don't like exhaust system work since it's all on the back and I'm an old fart. I would mind tackling it as long as I won't need torches etc to get it out.

Anyone know where I can find a diagram of the entire exhaust system?

Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

The older I get, the less I like exhaust and front end work.

The down pipe bolts to the turbo, not a big deal.

If the other end is a flanged connection, it will just be a plug and play. If it's a slip joint it's going to be a job.

Also need to get the car up in the air for clearance.
