iirc the stnd cats are up underneath your feet, however the Wortec ones are more like under your calves... this would tend me to believe that the long tube headers need more length and consequently the cats sit further back. Even if the originals would bolt up, they'd only be mm's off the floor i reckon! and then there's the issue of pipe lengths etc....

And using common sense have you EVER heard of anyone with uprated headers and stnd catback??

ALL IMHO though - wait for the fitters to confirm!


ETA
just read you've got DF headers, so now I REALLY don't know the answer...sorry.

No.

Because IIRC, the DF collectors are longer than the Wortecs.

Ah I see....
Finish the exhaust after the headers. Just attach the back boxes and you'll be alright!
