Two of the threaded studs came out w/ the nuts pretty much welded to them, the other two the nuts broke free w/ the studs left on the cats, and then there were the demon bolts
Those look pretty clean. If you can soak them 48 hrs prior, then again the day before you should be good.
The first demon I only soaked a couple hours prior and it put up a big fight, but got it free. The drivers side that I did the next night which was much tougher to access w/ the steering shaft to contend with was simple as it soaked for 24 hrs.

If you lived in so-cal I have a shop that would've done it for 100. Problem is that those stock cats on the g's tend to get stuck and they are an absolute nightmare to unbolt the driver side. Mine for example took 3 hours and at least 3 broken bolts.

i went to multiple shops and all said minimum $200+.
Just got the clutch replaced under (mostly) warranty and the dealer kindly swapped the cats when they dropped the exhaust for me at no charge...... so if you plan on dropping the tranny at the dealer anytime soon maybe you could do that as well?

I just did the install last weekend with a friend of mine for his car. We did it roughly in 5 hours, not really rushing. Having the extensions is really what is key. We sprayed the bolts with just PB blaster, and just kept going at it.
If you allotted a whole weekend to do it, I would go that route. I paid $100 for labor and I regret not just DIY'ing it myself. I'm in SA more often, I can give you a hand with it one day if you'd like. $275 is a lot of money for how little the performance we gain out of this mod.

Cool that you got a willing helper that's already b*tch-slapped the demons.
You'll be fine!
