Pipes are bent incorrectly for a normally aspirated engine.
Look at the inlet and outlets - they're routed for a turbo exhaust.

Won't fit without a new crossmember and a new FSB (both from a turbo model).

And a turbo, and a down pipe, etc etc...

It'll fit NA, you just have to get a crossover pipe made to link it up with your catalytic converter.

But it'll be less effective because of the routing. You need a more direct route.

A good shop will be able to route it better than a stock NA exhaust is, anyway.

I dunno - the stock header is actually pretty good in terms of directness. It's restrictive, but it doesn't have a ton of bends in it and it curves pretty well.

You're ignoring the fact that the left runners merge at more than a right angle to the other runners at the collector.
