I just did this same exact install on my coupe a few days ago. Put the car in neutral and use the ebrake to hold the driveshaft in place while removing the driveshaft bolts(rotate as necessary to remove all 4). I jacked my car up really high in the air and put in on jack stands on all four corners. Also try to keep the rear of the car higher than the front so that you dont lose any trans fluid. You may want an oil pan there under the transmission tail just incase. I was able to use a 12mm 12 point socket with a breaker bar, short extension, and swivel socket to break my driveline bolts loose and they were torqued to 95 ft/lbs and had red loc tite on them. An impact gun would help out here too if you have access. No need to remove the exhaust the driveshaft should have no problem coming out and going in with it in. A torque wrench would be a good idea to torque it back down to 95 ft/lbs and make sure to use red loc tite, so that they don't come out on there own. I made the mistake of not using loc tite one time and the next time I was under my car working on somthing I grabbed the driveshaft to scoot myself and noticed all four driveshaft bolts were so loose that I could remove them with my fingers. Other then that just be safe.

So far after installing my aluminum driveline my car is much smoother driving, slightly softer clutch feel(meaning once the clutch engages the driveshaft) and a little faster acceleration(more smooth revving).

Also, remember that the DS system is a balanced unit. If it vibrates at higher speeds you may need to take it somewhere to get it butter smooth (depending on how anal you are).
