I looked at mine the other day and decided it was not something I was looking forward to doing. If you feel like it, would you mind posting how you did it, what I should look out for, ect? I hate exhaust work, but I also hate to pay someone else to do a worse job than I would.

Cool, I'm happy for you. Out of curiousity, why was not cutting the DP important? Saving it for something?
