Back box swap - what parts?
Although an experienced MR2 'fiddler', I've never dismantled or changed any exhaust components. For my UK Classic I've got my hands on one of Hayward and Scott's finest and am contemplating swapping out the back boxes myself. Local labour rates are quite simply a bit silly!
1) I'm assuming this is reasonably straight forward(?)
2) Any gaskets or such that I would need to get from Subaru first..?
3) Any pitfalls I should be aware of..?
All advice gratefully received. Thanks for your time.

When I did mine I reversed the car onto ramps.
Bolts from the midpipe flange to the backbox flange were rusted to fsck. Just as well the flange had parted company from the middle pipe (hence I was changing it). I got it on the bench(well workmate) to separate them.
If I was doing it again, I'd get new nuts and bolts.
