Default PO430 exhaust gasket question.

Hi I’ve got an exhaust leak on my 2001 from both the front ends where the gaskets meet the pipe
i went to a shop & they wanted $500 to remove the entire exhaust to put this $10 gasket on
i recently came across this video
https://youtu.be/eWSshRufz2w?si=xK9HZm1IT0dI5iUU
he doesn’t show much other than say he removed the 14mm bolts but my question is for others who have done the same can I just unbolt it pull it down & slip the gasket in? Is it that straight forward? thank you.

Yep, it's that easy assuming everything isn't rusted and falling apart. If that's the case the gasket won't help. You may need to double gasket or also use some high temp RTV.
