Yes the air box will need to come out, just pull up. The midpipe clamp is welded on the exhaust, you can't/shouldn't need to replace it. Yes you must remove the exhaust brace to lower the rear section. You will need penetrating oil like PB Blaster to get the DP to exhaust separated easier. You will need a pipe expander to get the new DP in the exhaust. Did the new V band come with a new bolt? The bolt is what people have to cut as a worst case if it doesn't come off. I can't answer about the spacers/washers as I have red and didn't need any.
