No. That pipe is designed for use with LT headers. Order the one with the longer pipes if you plan on keeping your stock headers. You are rolling the dice with smog if you install them because you will be relocating the cats. May pass the sniffer though. Shouldn't be that tough of an install with a jack and some jackstands. Hour and half I'd say.

My g/f says it sounds like a airplane when I start it in the garage if that is an accurate indication. There is also a mildly annoying drone at cruising speeds if you don't keep your foot on the gas. It's hard to explain. I keep my music up pretty loud, so it doesn't bother me. It will be loud and you can attract the wrong attention if you push it in the wrong areas, like Friars road, or in a residential area. I stay around the corner from the police station, so I stay off of it in my neighborhood. It's a good investment IMO.

Yeah, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Just don't rev it really hard while you are near the station (duh!). Be a bit considerate of your neighbors as it will be extremely loud when you first start it up for about 30 sec. If you get up really early, someone may not like it much. I say get it anyway. It will be as loud as you want, TRUST ME. Just use some common sense and you'll be fine.
