I am pretty sure that it will. When I installed my RB system I replaced the muffler too, but it still retains the stock connecting pipe that goes from the cat replacement pipe to the muffler. So I am pretty sure that you will still be able to use the stock muffler.

yes it will work, the header presilencer or header miller cat combination is made to work with the stock connecting pipe and thus stock muffler (or a RB muffler which attaches identical to the stock one.)

The presilencer runs into the stock connecting pipe and then into the muffler.

Header>Presilencer>stock connecting pipe>muffler

I don't think racing beat even sells a replacement for the stock connecting pipe.

This is what you need, as i have on my car.
Streetable Header> Presilencer>stock connecting pipe>muffler.
The header and presil will hook up to your connecting pipe, whcih is welded to your mufler. Its a bolt on installation, it took me 45 minutes with a full lift.

assuming you don't have to drill out the thousand bolts you might possibly break in the process (not literally)

Racing Beat does sell a replacement connecting pipe if needed. The part number is listed in all of their systems for the correct connecting pipe I beleive.
