Default Installing new exhaust question

Just picked up a new magnaflow exhaust for an 86 its from the Y-Pipe to the mufflers. My question is this a diy project since it just bolt on, or will I need a second hand? Also after I take out old exhaust should I put new exhaust together before installation and install as one whole piece? Any help or guidance would be great: step by step anything-thanks

its a one man deal. I hooked up the mufflers to the y-pipe, and sprayed windex, silicone spray etc on the rubber hangers for the mufflers so the muffler hanger would slide in easy,


I have my car in the air @ 12 inches on jack stands, you can pull them put and put them in easily
