Um, yeah.
Having been a full-time auto mechanic through a number of my younger years, and kept my ASE master automobile technician certification current until I decided to let it go in 2017, I think I'm probably capable of putting exhaust pipes and mufflers together, twisting them into position, and zapping fasteners onto clamps, hangers and manifold studs.
This thread was partly provoked by comments in another thread that lamented the shortage of technical chatter on this site, and partly by a desire to get a better handle on placement of the forward heat shields, and the pluses/minuses with respect to the different forward hanger designs, with the idea that it might be a shortcut to having to figure out those things while lying on a creeper.
