On a 4 cyl you need to remove the front portion of the exhaust. In the v6 you need to remove the transverse member(crossmember) aas well as the front portion of the exhaust.

Besides that it is pretty easy.

On the V6, you don't need to remove the crossmember, just unbolt the exhaust collectors from the headers.
