Do you guys think its do able if I hook it up from the header, straight to were ever it ends? I know that i Might have to end up bending or cutting some of the under shielding, but thats fine with me.

it would probably fit best right after your header, and the length of your header is going to affect that. It won't fit on the stretch after the bend to the over axle part. 22" is just too long for that part of the exhaust. Like said, get under there and measure it up.

It will fit, I have a shorter on under mine. The shorter oval will fit also and quiet it down more. Search eBay with the part#, you should be able to find it cheaper.

It may be cheaper from e-bay for you guys in the states, but for us canadians its cheaper to order it from a performance shop. I priced it out once, and once shipping and exchange are factored in, including duty at the border, its more expensive than if I were to order one from a local shop thats not stocked in their warehouse and they have to ship.

not if you have torchoid driving up here for you to ship you some things anyways ... well i was down there, and measured things ... it would see that it would actually go in there alot easier than I thought it would, you just need to bend one part a little in the center section and boom it would fit in with actually lots of room on both sides. Now debating wheter I should stick with that ... or go offset inlet centered outlet but only with 14" long muffler. The oval style ones of about 4x9 or 5x8 ... trochoid says it would be a quieter setup going with the oval one what your thoughts on this people?
