Volkswagen Golf V - Golf Mk5 Exhaust Removing/Upgrading Help - adamfernadam

Hi,

I have purchased a new full stainless exhaust system and wondered whether i can attemp the removal of the old one and replacement with the new one at home or whether it needs a garage?

Im ok with basic car mechanics, but no professional by any means. Does it need to be raised up fully on lifters or can i get by with jacks/ramps as it is a full cat back through to backbox system? Also am i likely to need grinder/hacksaw etc or just WD40 and a crowbar or something for the hangers?

Any special tools il need if i attempt myself...exhaust gum or anytihng i may have not thought of..

cheers for any help!
