Default downpipe fitting

hey could do with some advice, i have bought a decat system but am struggling fitting it, underneath looks easy enough and so far i have removed the turbo heatshield which was a nightmare to reach all the bolts, whats the best way to go from here? i only have axle stands so dont have a great amount of room underneath, car is my95wrx wagon.
any help will be really appreciated.
thanks
neill

on another note whilst under the car i realised there is no centre catthought there were 2 on classic scoobs? and the lambda sensor i think (the wire from the side of the downpipe was not connected at the plastic end) surely some sort of warning light should have been on? reconected now with no effects?

Did mine on ramps too, most of the nuts come away easy enough but there is one stubborn git, see this thread

The lambda is located in the drivers side manifold, the sensor in the d/p is the EGT sensor (exhaust gas temp or cat on fire) not needed if decatting and will not throw a cel.
