Default Question about headers and exhaust

This may be a dumb question but I am about to get some headers and exhaust installed and I am confused...

I went with American Racing 1 3/4 headers with cat'ed cross pipe and B&B Bullets with the PRT midsection. Is there any way the catted cross pipe & PRT midsection will both fit under the car. The PRT midsection is very long so it doesn't appear both will fit. If not, which one do I go with, the x-pipe or the PRT? I imagine it goes LT headers -> x-pipe or PRT -->bullets ?

Sorry for the dumb question.

I don't know if this helps or not, but here is a picture of the stock exhaust next to a Kooks 1 3/4 with a catted X-pipe. Both mate up to my GHL exhaust. I imagine all exhausts utilize the same mounting point.

The Kooks are designed to mate to their catted x-pipe. The PRT is designed to mate to the stock exhaust. You can't use both.

I just found this out. I had the exhaust installed today and the PRT sits right where the factory x-pipe goes. When I do the headers I will just sell the PRT and use the x-pipe that came with the AR headers.

As for the exhaust....the sound is bad a$$ but does drone around 1500 rpm's.
