I don't believe it will work with your stock exhaust. You need duals.

On my car I had a Hooker front y-pipe, stock center cat (hollowed) and a Borla rear y-pipe. A local exhaust shop cut out the center cat welded a Magnaflow x-pipe to the to the front and rear y-pipes using some SS tubing.

They work beautifully, and your engine will love you when it's able to breathe....
