The trickiest part and you touched on it, was the "frame" rail driver side where the fuel and brake lines run. You will need to dimple the exhaust pipe in a large area to clear this and most places do not have the means to do that. If you look at any ORY for LT headers they all have that flat spot placed in them to clear.
If you do go this route, have some form of quick connect at the header, either V bands, or flanges and again at the rear half by the mufflers.
Be prepared for crappy ground clearance and a smelly/loud car. Also, if you ever want a chassis mounted torque arm, you won't be able to run an X pipe.
Hate to be a broken record, but just be aware of what you are getting into.

Dont worry about sounding like a broken record, i appreciate all the input. Ive accepted the ground clearance issue and the smelly/loud issue, well, ive had open headers with turndowns for the past 4 months so anything will be better than that at this point. V bands are already holding the turndowns on and i plan on keeping them in that place just in case i change things in the future. Ill find a shop eventually that wants to do the work
