Difficulty level? What do I need to watch out for?

The exhaust I have needs to come off and be replaced with the other one, but it does not have a removable u-bend so may need to drop beam or get a garage to do it on car lift...

You don't need to drop the rear beam to remove an exhaust with a fixed U bend

Just get it up on a ramp and remove the centre section, then swing the back box and U bend over the rear beam.

One the Oreca system i have (same as Wobbas) i have to slightly lower the rear beam.
