It will bolt right up, but you will need to install either the cat replacement pipe or fab something up to replace your cats. Mine wouldn't bolt up to the rest of the exhaust so I just welded a flang onto a pipe, and connected it to my muffler.

Just installed my RB header on my stock 85 gsl today but I also have the pre-silencer. That bolted up nicely! However I cant imagine what I would have done had I not purchased the pre-silencer., may had to have gone to get a strait pipe fabricated at the local muffler shop!
