Is it a stock of aftermarket catback?

I've seen a lot of shops cut the stock ones off. It may be possible to get the stock one off without cutting, but not sure.

If it's aftermarket, then No it's not that hard.

It should just be bolted on. It's not that hard.

moving this to tech

No worries man, no need to apologize This section is for site help and site suggestions, not tech help.

It should go back on no problem. It'll depend on how rusted the bolts are. I've taken mine on and off a million times so it's really easy. Especially with my impact wrench.

You can you use any bolt and nut combo that is large enough. The only problem you may have would be where it goes over the axle. You may need to cut it unless you can get your car WAY up in the air.

If you cut it you can get a set of 3" wide band clamps and put it back together. Most aftermarket exhausts come with them. They are like 10 dollars a piece. You may be able to lift it high enough but then again you may not.

Maybe try putting the car up on ramps and then using a jack on a few blocks of wood. Then use jack stands.
