to make it easier, there are a few things.....something with lift...lift it a key too in this, i was a tech at toyota so i had a rotary lift, but any lift would help, even safely jacked up. second, lot's of lube, wd40 is a friend not foe, use it....a lot!!! and 3 try to get your hand on a special 02 socket to take it out cause thats a bitch too. lol
I ran into the same situation w/ my HX. It too has the cat built into the header. I replaced my entire exhaust system with Megan header, test pipe, and cat-back. The hardest part was getting the old, rusty exhaust off...since you've only got the header and cat/test pipe to replace, it shouldn't be very hard to do at all.
