be sure to get those pipes welded or bead rolled..other than that it seems like it would be sufficient.

Yes that's more than enough. Make sure you get them bead rolled and buy tbolt clamps. And get silicone couplers. At least 4ply. Those are rubber couplers which suck. I had one pop a hole on me. So all you should use is the piping. You will have to make a hole behind your passenger side headlight.

Yes you can. That's how I have mine. I only have a hole behind the headlight for the hotpipe. Make sure your coldpipe sits high enough if you're low.
