no, but just be cautious if you buy a different exhaust you may need to do a little custom work depending on how they installed the header.
yes, the y8/y7 motors have inherently weak oil pumps.

yes sir, and your best bet for hearing it (chances are you won't "feel" it) are to do a 3rd gear pull and leave your intake the way it is, with no filter or anything on it. I'm not kidding, that's when it should be the loudest, just don't keep it like that.
