I know for the midpipe:
Pb Blaster to kill the rust plus make it easier to remove
A swivel extension 3/18 i think connected to a 15mm DEEP dish socket. The nuts on my car are 18MM for some reason so make you have a 15mm and 18mm both deep dish.
2 extension bars. 10 inch so you can reach. For the passenger side you both extension bars to get the hard to reach nut. On the drivers said just use 1 extension since its not hard to reach.
Some WD40 if you cant get the exhaust out the hangers easily.
A wrench to unscrew the 02 sensors.
goggles to protect your eyes from the **** falling. Even with google i get **** in my eyes :/
A spare jack to hold the pipe up when your bolting if your doing it by yourself.

deep dish sockets eh, how big of a lip? 
+1 on pb blastering all the nuts overnight. the hardest part are the manifold bolts and youll need like ^ said, a 3/8 swivel, 15mm deepwell socket, and an extension. disconnect the negative battery or watch sparks fly as you hit the starter.
you may or may not get surprised, try to jump up, and hit your head very very hard.

Before you start... go to ford and get the metal gasket. It mades the job so much easy. It has punch holes where it slips onto the header studs. Once you put it on there it puncheres and locks its self in place. Just bolt up the midpipe and and your set. The paper gaskets are ass ;[
Make sure you have extra tools or good quality ones b/c my swivel broke lol ,but i was able to fix it.

must have swivel - when you get to the pass side, it will be obvious - actaully I used 2 swivels (and a couple diff length extensions)...and a little more advice...use some masking tape to hold the swivel 'erect' if it decides to try to become 'limp' as your working upside down
