No. You can't reach those clamps from the bottom and even if you could manage to remove the v band bolts from the bottom, you'd never get them back in. It's a bit of a task even from the top with the minimal amount of stuff I took off. I was basically laying over the top of the engine to secure those clamps. Removing that Dinan Intake is trivial compared to the exhaust work. I'd say if you're not up for it, probably good idea to find someone to do the work. Even a few hundred dollars labor is probably well spent.
I had initially tried to leave even the rear exhaust in place but you quickly realize you waste more time and energy fighting stuff than just removing and getting it out of the way.
