You should be able to bolt up the stock alxe back to it, but you mite not as the new mid pipe is bigger 1" bigger then the stock exhaust.

you can use the original muffler on the aftermarket pipe but you'll have to use an expander to expand the pipe on the oem muffler to fit into the aftermarket pipe so it can either be welded or clamped. it'll be tough because expanding the oem pipe to fit the aftermarket pipe could break that little pipe at the oem muffler. you can buy different size pipes and weld them to step down slowly to fit the muffler but it'll look ugly as sin..

for around 60.00 to 100.00 max an exhaust shop can do it for you properly and it'll still look awesome..
