It got really frustrating to have to keep putting it on and taking it off the exhaust manifolds time and time again to keep welding things to it because the tacks are only so strong, but overall it wasn't that difficult. I'm convinced that anyone with enough patience and the right tools and materials could do exactly what I did. Believe me though, it takes time and a lot of effort and swearing!
