4" exhaust install, tips for doing it alone?

I don't think I'll have a friend around when I do this, I'm going to start this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Depends on if it gets too hot or not. It looks like it'll be pretty straight forward, the concern I have is the forward pipe that connects to the turbo. Hopefully the clamp comes off ok, any tips for holding the new pipe in place after I snake it in from the bottom?

A bungy cord really helps to hold the bottom of the down pipe upwhile you are working up top. Besides the down pipe everything else isn't to bad by yourself. Good luck, and don't forget the camera

It's not hard, take it easy and work thru one step at a time.
