   just jack one side up then you should be able to get underneeth mate and yer just take off the old and the new should all line up make sure u use putty on the joins or they will blow

   probably be a bit of an arse to get the old one off, might be a bit tight on the joins mate, make sure the car is nice and secure if your under there pulling bits about.

   id hammer gently were the exhaust joins are to loosen up dirt rust etc, and make it a little easyier to free, hope that helped a little

   I'd get some axle stands from halfords .. think they are £10 a pair.
   
   The current exhaust can be taken off in a single piece. I'd release it by the manifold as a starting point and then once that is off get the exhaust off the centre and rear hangers.
   
   with refitting do it in sections.. centre pipe first and then backbox. There is a fibre exhaust putty from halfords that is really good stuff. Think its their own brand.
   
   The rear clamp from your current exhaust system will be used on the join between the centre pipe and backbox.
   
   Easiest way to jack up is from the side unless you have a trolley jack. Could park the car 1/3 on a kerb to give extra room under the car
