People have done it, though I think it's almost always been at least a 2 person job.

Also, if you're just talking the muffler section of the exhaust, that shouldn't be too difficult, but if you're talking a full exhaust from the headers all the way back, people have broken the bolts holding the headers to the engine, so you'd want to be careful there. Even after torching them to make it easier people have still sheared these bolts, and if it breaks off inside you'll be looking at a lot more work.

Don't let that stop you, though. The way I see it, it may be worthwhile to let a shop handle the header section and then you can do the rest of the exhaust from the header back yourself if you really want to. If you're just doing a cat-back or header-back exhaust mod, you and a buddy should be able to knock it out just fine.
