Default Exhaust Question

I have 99' A4 81K and a bone stock exhaust. I am about to add mufflers and mandrel bent pipe. My question for you all is: Will an x-pipe bolt directly to my cats or whatever that is that is in front of the x-pipe going towards the engine without any type of modification? Or should I wait until I get LT headers to add an x-pipe? What do shops usually charge to install mufflers and mandrel bent pipe?
Thank you.

The pipes right after the cats have to be cut to the proper length to make the X pipe fit.If you just want to add an after market exhaust and no X pipe ,the new exhaust will fit on with no cutting at all. Dont bother with with an X pipe right now if you are planning to get headers because most long tube headers come with an Xpipe anyway.I hope this helps.
