Installing Downpipe,cat back exhaust, rear sway bar & boost gauge in one day! Advice?

Hey everyone this Saturday I will be installing the Cp-e catted downpipe, Corksport power series exhaust, whiteline adjustable rear sway bar, and prosport boost gauge with vent pod all in one day! The downpipe and sway bar will take the longest. I've heard people suggest removing the alternator for easier access and of course the heat shields. Any other suggestions for the quickest remove and reinstall? Overall looking at a 6-7 hour job. Anyway wish me luck will try to possibly do some pics with write ups

Can't help on the downpipe I have done the rear bar though. There is a square piece of aluminum sticking off the top of the diff that does nothing but get in the way. I just used the sawz all and cut it off in a few seconds. Until I did that there was no way I could get the bar in.

the down pipe and cat back will take about 8 to 10 hours not even kidding depending on how many friends u have helping u.. get a swear jar and put a dollar in it every time u drop a bomb and you can do another performance upgrade! have fun with that. oh and bay the way when u get to the part where u have to get the cats on the down pipe out u have to unscrew the rear wish bone motor mount under the car and passenger side motor mount over the wheel well and support the motor with a jack and tip the motor forward it may take a couple times to get it right but when u get it u can pull them out through the top its the fastest way trust me!!l hahaha they were pissing me off so bad
