Exhaust

Just want to get your opinions on working on the exhaust system. I've replaced the muffler to the end in the past, and that was fairly easy. But this time, I have a leak up near the engine. Looks like the driver side, where the exhaust connects to the header. It is really rusted up where they are bolted together, and thats about where I'm hearing it. I'm not sure how it connects underneath as I haven't dropped the skid plate on it yet. I'm a little worried about driving it like that as well, having all that hot exhaust dumping right into the engine compartment.

How much of a p.i.t.a. would it be to work on? Am I going to have to do both sides at once? Is it worth it to take it to somewhere like meineke?

Thanks guys!
