It sucks.
I think I recall 4-6 hours... on a lift...
The problem is mostly just the tight quarters you have to work in - as Justin found out recently, working down in that turbo area in incredibly tough - and even once you get the uppipe free, it is an absolute pain in the ass to get it out (and get the new one in). I believe I remember loosening engine mounts and lifting the engine to squeeeeze it out? That kind of fun
