Replacing the front (driver's end) pipe is actually a piece of cake, and has
no bearing on the difficulty of replacing the rear pipe.  I've always only
replaced the broken pipe and have seen no evidence that "if one pipe goes,
others will soon follow".

My vote: save your money and just have the one done.  Odds are that before
the next pipe goes, you'll have to pull a head or something anyway.
