Getting the damned bolts off the first time took longer than installing and uninstalling a 4" muffled nameless axleback and installing a 5" one. I suggest a can of PB Blaster, it's magic.

I did my Berk single delete in my parking spot in front of my apartment in about ten minutes. Hardest part was torqueing the bolts back up because my torque wrench is huge.

I have the same ones!

Get a shop jack from harbor freight. Makes all car jobs easier, definitely worth the 150$(this doesn't really have anything to do with removing the exhaust without jacking but I feel it's a good tip)

Did you have a breaker bar?
I used it and it worked like a charm.

Getting the exhaust off without jacking the car is possible, but definitely gonna be easier with a jack.... And even easier with a lift....

I wrestled with my axleback for an hour to get it settled in and tightened down, with just the back jacked up... It's definitely easier if you don't have the OEM-style diffuser installed
