But this is like saying it is easier to change the battery if you remove the hood!  I don't know how removing unnecessary body components with issues like those noted in the additional posts could be faster. I did mine on ramps and even stopping to take pictures I was done in less than an hour from start to finish.

Removing the fascia cover is a ten min. project, once it is out of the way and the heat shields are dropped, it another ten min. until the muffler is out. After you have done this about million times (albeit on a lift) it goes
very quickly. Working around everything to drop the muffler actually takes longer, and putting it back together is even worse.
