It will fit, my stock exhaust is still in one piece and I have had my catback for almost 3 years now.

Here are the steps:
1 Jack the car up and support it properly(jackstands)
2 remove the rear wheels
3 remove lower shock mount bolts
4 remove springs from perches(grab and pull, make sure the car is very stable when doing this)
5 support axle with wood/brick/CMU's, something that can hold about 60 lbs and not get in the way
6 remove front subframe bolts & lower whole subframe
7 remove DP/Catback bolts
8 remove hangers
9 remove catback, note how you have to remove it so reinstalling the ss/sc isnt such a PITA
10 reverse steps 1-9.
