Depending on the condition of the exhaust manifold studs, the exhaust could
take that long, if they all snapped off.  Is the exhaust being put together
with clamps or is it going to be all welded?  If the old exhaust comes off
easily and the new one is designed to fit with the rod shifter, the exhaust
itself should be on in say 2-3 hrs max.  I've never upgraded from a cable to
rod shifter before, but the installation seems pretty straight forward. And
again the rod shifter should be able to be put in, in about 2-3 hrs.  But
you never know what you may run into on installation, so these times could
widely vary.  Good luck, and let us know how you like your y-pipe,exhaust,
and cable shifter!
