pull the tire and fender well . pull the dipstick ,you will have to bend it to weave it between the tubes use oem gaskets and use stage 8 bolts but they can rattle after some time and cause false knock or use a different bolt with a lock washer and check the lines that run up the frame right by the headers they may be very close or were you looking for other advise?

Shorty. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to remove the cat back. Which I was hoping I could do without moving the exhaust

keep in mind you will need a custom tune to turn off the CEL and actualy see the gain but it would be worth it.
