How long should a whole exhaust replacement take on a 1985 Mustang GT???

Hi Guys/Gals,

I got a whole new exhaust for my baby from front to back consisting of the following:

Flowtech headers
Flowtech Off-Raod H pipe
American Thunder Cat-back System from Flowmaster

Now I thought for sure that doing this myself would be a real pain and I kept on seeing articles saying it was easeier with a lift..........etc etc.
So I gave this job to a mechanic I know who does a lot of this stuff for older muscle cars..................he started mid morning this morning and will only be finished tomorrow morning mid morning. My question is, how long should this take???? I just hope he doesn't charge me for every single hour?! Any of you guys got good experience with this?

Thanks

i've done it with the car on jackstands 2' off the ground and it took about 3 hrs, the headers is the hardest part!

You will also be needing a double hump transmission crossmember from an 86-93 5.0, and the job can be done in 3-8 hours depending on condition of the old parts, rust and available tools.
