i dont think anyone is going to know that off hand. your best bet would be to cut off your old exhaust and lay it on the ground beside your new parts. you should then be able to figure out what you need.

You prebuy mandrel U or J bends... Use the Dynomax ones they are aluminized and last longer then regular steal ones... part number 42394.... I know up here lordco stocks them... You cut them up and weld them together to make your system...

It'll end up looking like this...

If you are resourceful with how you do the bends, cut them up and weld them together you could probably get away with 2 - 3 U bends to make the entire system... Very rarely have I had to buy extra straight pipe...
