You have to use the two short pieces of pipes from your existing exhaust to hook the xpipe to the collector part

no, you don't have to weld them. Just get your car on a lift and before you take anything off hold the new X pipe up even with the stock one. You will have to cut the stock H pipe off. Before you cut it off you will notice that the new xpipe isn't as long so you will have to cut the stocker back far enough so you can slide part of the stock pipe in to the new xpipe.. Kinda hard to explain but once you get the car in the air and hold the new pipe up to your stock one you will see what I mean and will know where to cut your old pipe.
Look at your new xpipe and you will see how the ends are flared up a little, that is so you can slide the stock pipe in to it and clamp it.

I was thinking of installing the headers then driving down to the muffler shop and having them fit the xpipe to the catback.
Is this going to be too loud?
Will I get pulled over and ticketed?
