the brackets bolting the exhaust to the car would be no problem. if you have to custom fab. those, it should be simple.. but the thing that you really need to check on is your exhaust manafold. because if your header will not bold up, then you will have to do some welding and cutting, and it may not be worth it..

Re: 3rd Gen Exhaust

Keep the Muffler, ditch the rest, way to much fab work and 3" is to big for a GSL-SE
you'll have to fab/mod the muffler to work, best to get a RB header and presilenser.
as you won't gain much from the stock manifold.

Yeah, the 3" would be too big for the NA 13b... but I intend to drop in a T2 engine in not too long... so would it be a good idea to just keep the stock on and wait for the engine swap?
