I've never removed the rear sway, but removing the stock exhaust is only a 10-15 minute job once the car is up on stands.
- 5 hangers, 3 flange bolts, plus rear brace (4 + 1 bolts IIRC)
You can do it yourself if you have some muscles and don't mind getting dirty

I don't know how you'd get to the end links without removing the wheels. Even if you could, removing the front wheels makes everything so much easier. Here's the Saner bar install instructions that should also work with minor changes for most of the other bars out there.

I think the Comptech website has detailed instructions for a Comptech bar install.

any tips on removing the rear exhaust to install a rear swaybar?
really, i tried to put some muscle into it. it didnt seem to want to budge and my patience ran out.
whats effective? grease? pry bars? unbolt the front flange first?
