dont even want to tell you how long the exhaust took... okay ill tell, i started at 7pm with 2 friends and ended at 2am, though from 7-8 i was waiting on a third friend with wd40 for the hangers, 8-9 was getting the oem off, 10-11 was food break at popeyes, 12-1:30 was waiting for a fifth and sixth friend who could cut my spring bolts 2am they all left.
woke up the next morning with half the new exhaust hanging from the car without any jacks or anything, had to jack the car up with a scissor jack and reach as much as i could(face was just about touching the diff cover) and took 45minutes to get 1 hanger off.
Drove to my mechanic (with my exhaust ending at my cat, sounded like a wild mythical beast that just screams terror into your mind, as soon as i started it up the AWS kicked in and scared me shitless) to cut my spring bolts to size
HMM.... took me 6 hours to take my radio out and install the Grom.... took literally 4 hours figuring out how those plugs disconnect, encountered them when taking the corners out and cursed at them.
(all of this was done this winter btw... set up 2 heaters in my garage, managed to lose sensation in my feet twice during the grom install)
I have no problem taking my time, its a quality i guess, though i lack the innate quality to know exactly what to do even when reading a guide. And im getting a fd this summer or next go figure.

though on the upside, i am confident i can change out my exhaust under 45minutes and ive pulled my radio a couple of weeks ago in a few minutes. Everything is a steep learning curve for me, but once i do it once i breeze through it.
