It will work fine as long as you not using a 4 inch pipe on top. You can always just cut the stock one & reweld it if using a 4 inch pipe on top & not have to hammer on the top of you other parts.

A&A has spacers with their kits. Short ones up front long in the back. If you plan on keeping the "dongle" you'll be fine with a shorty radiator, but if you do a 4" pipe you will need to space it down.

i got it all fit together without using the spacers. Haven't installed intake yet so if it won't fit, i'll have to put the spacers in.
