Point me to any posts or info and I will read it for you to check but ultimately the subframes usually block the old exhaust coming off as they are routed on the car before the subframes are then put on.
I was looking at how to do it properly on the Golf and ended up being pointed at the 'cut it out' solution like so many others. The new exhaust is in parts, with sleeves, so can be fitted under the subframe.
Otherwise, I would take it over to a garage and get them to do it as it will need the alignments done.
