LG Motorsports headers are designed to bolt right up to the factory plumbing. Give Anthony and his staff a call and they will hook you up.

pretty well every header system made for your car will bolt up to your exhaust system or they would never be able to sell any

Most header systems will require you to purchase their mid-pipe or X-pipe as well.
The OEM system has the cats right at the exit of the exhaust manifolds, and the OEM mid pipe is designed to connect to the outlets of the OEM cats. Long tube headers will require a different mid-pipe, because they exit further back than the OEM cats.

you need to purchase header system with its own x or h pipe for your car and it will bolt to your factory axle back exhaust system

Hi Z5108, if you purchase the headers and corresponding x-pipe it will hook up to your OEM exhaust, as well as most aftermarket axelbacks. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 443-730-9428

Oh, I'm in Georgia and we can use PayPal. Let me double check the fitment though. I can also text a few pics if you like. They're sitting out in the mother-in-law suite.
