Unless all the bolts holding the original heat shields are rusted (common !), and need cutting off. Same applies if the turbo to down pipe bolts have seized (common !). Oh, and if the manifold is being heat wrapped.

As Mark says, could be an easy job (under 2 hours) or a bitch of a job, however worst case don't expect to be charged more than 4 hours labour
