The most important point:
Get the car up high on jackstands. With most jacks you cannot get the car high enough to clear the downpipe from the chassis, oil filter and engine, so it needs to be about 14" at least, maybe more than 18" to make it easy. A lift/shop is really worth the cost for this one. Torquing the manifold nuts from below can be a PITA on your back with long extensions. I paid someone $40 to install the downpipe on my 245, worth every penney.
