Idk what that is but most people heat wrap (reflective vinyl/mesh/cloth or smt) or some kind of ceramic

(Honest question. I thought about doing the headers on my fox bodied mustang when I was a kid, but couldn't afford them in the end. It didn't occur to me it would be a hard operation at the time)

Potential for seized nuts are pretty high, even with a torch. When a shop did my driveshaft bushings (guibo), they snapped/seized several exhaust bolts. It's pretty much a given.
But to answer your question, in the E46, it's just a PITA to get to or try to do on your back with your car on jack stands. I'd probably have a different tune if I had a hoist I could stand under LOL.
Hell a hoist would have made changing front control arms way easier. Imagine an upside down turtle on it's shell - that was me for 8 hours LOL
