It's a beast for sure... On your back with tough angles and no space or 4 foot extensions to get to the top bolts from the engine compartment... But it's kind if a one person job unless you want someone to grab sockets rather than slide out from under the car.
If you have your buddy helping and he strips a nut (a real possibility), you might get pissed at him.... Plus it's crowded under there.
All you are unbolting are nuts, the studs are welded to the old cats, so no need to hold the other side. This is not true with the replacements as they are nut/bolt combinations. I did have to get the wife to hold a wrench topside while I got under the car to snug it up as they were both turning. It's all worth it because they sound great.
