i assume you mean shorty headers? if so, then they will have to cut and weld them on.

Yep, the existing exhaust pipe has to be cut (just above the cats I believe) and the DTs get welded on. Kind of a pain in the A, but no check engine lights so far, so guess it's worth it

Cut and weld. The down pipes that are connected to the cats need to be shortened. Instructions will show and say how much, each side is different. I'm sure they know, but make sure they scrape off a bit of the ceramic coating on the headers where they weld to the pipes so to prevent any exhaust leak through the weld area. Other then that,about three hours tops.Also you reuse your stock header gaskets.

It shouldnt matter. It's cut slightly upstream of the cats.
