yeah they work. just have to get an exhaust shop to make it all happen. nothing is a prefect fit. I had to mess with it for about 4 hours to get everything perfect. the only problem will be where you will place exhaust hangers. I ended up pulling up the carpet and drilling holes and putting bolts through where the back seats are. i will see if I got pics and post them tonight.

You'll need a couple of extra bends(to build it properly), hangers, collectors(depending on headers), mufflers, welder, etc.

Took me 9 hours to build my first one with the car on a lift... That was about 450 systems ago.

You will need the universal x pipe kit, 1 U bend, 2 mufflers, and 2 hangers to make it work.
