Hi Adam, having held off doing this for the same reason, a few weeks ago I took a deep breath and got a pack of deadener and went at it. The look on the wifes face when I came into the house with the rer seat was priceless!
The actuall removal of the rear seat was so very easy and painless. As you'll see from the link to the manual above, the bottom seat just pops off and the rear is just 2 or 3 bolts. I guarantee you'll have it out in under 5 min's.
FYI - I did not bother to remove the centre seat belt when removing the back of the rear seat, just slid the seat out and back in under the belt.
I should have taken a few pic's...but it was really so easy I did not think anyone would need/want them.
Now for me, as I wanted to soundproof the rear parcel shelf, getting the rear parcel shelf out took a bit longer as it required removal of some trim, but again, using the manual it was all straight forward.
Cheers,
Andrew

Reversing camera, "road kill" sound deadener in all doors and parcel shelf. Whiteline sway bars (front and rear).
Dyno Tune by Vin @ Docklands STi +10-12KW and much better response. Got a 3.0R? Do it now.
