I have a pal that works for a main dealer (not Scooby) and does most of the jobs on my car with me, he is good and cheap.
Or I have pal who owns a Worksop in Dartford which I also use.

Is it a turbo back exhaust mate. Its a fairly easy job mate. Hardest part i found was removing the intercooler to gain access to the heat sheild to remove it so i can disconnect the turbo mate. Id ask around first see if anyone wants to give you a hand doing it for a few beer vouchers as i was being quoted £150 plus too fit mine

You should be fine mate, I did mine using one sill jack, split the system from down pipe drag it out of the way, a couple of the downpipe bolts, in my opinion are easier got to from underneath with a longish extension bar, then decat downpipe on. Depending on your new exhaust, i bolted mine together off the car slid it under and stuck it the exhaust hangers then bolted up to the downpipe
