Yes you will need some type of y-pipe or true duals. You can hook the stock exhaust up to the y-pipe I believe, but something has to connect the LTs to the catback. Good luck.

FYI, an ORY is a type of Y pipe... Y pipes can be catted or "off road" (The "OR" in ORY). It's up to you which you wanna pick, you will find equal amounts of people championing cats or no cats.

Psh he's in TX, they don't give a crap I say do the ORY. It's cheaper, louder, and performs mildly better.
