As long as the vehicle has a catalytic converter and muffler, you can put what ever pipe you want on the vehicle as long as the pipe is not near any fuel tanks, electrical wiring, and any brake lines. It is best to put the correct piping on the vehicle as it had from factory to keep the engine running at premium operation. If you need further assistance with your exhaust system, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
