It should bolt up without problems. Just make sure you 1) replace your motor mounts to a more solid type, or 2) install ESMM inserts, or 3) add a torque damper, or a combination of any mentioned, in order to prevent breaking the header.

I am not 100% sure on bolting to stock exhaust. I got my cat back first, and then did the rest to the system. As far as mounts, Innovate makes some good ones. ESMM inserts will do the same thing for cheaper and less labor. I have heard of people installing the ESMMs in their driveways over a couple of hours. The easiest method is a torque damper. I have the ESMMs and an Ingalls torque damper (adjusted to stiff) and I have no issues. There is a lot more vibration from the engine transferred to the car, but it doesn't bother me at all.
