I dont think you will be able to remove the entire exhaust with the manifolds attached.. I would separate the exhaust from the manifolds back. All that can come out as one piece. I remember having to finagle the manifolds around a little to get them out and I cant see doing that with them attached to the rest of the exhaust.

Im not sure what your working circumstances are.... but I guess you can try if you have a lift that you can stand up underneath. I only have a Kwiklift so maybe thats why it seems easier to separate...
