Yes.

Yes.

Yes, although a port-matched one would be better, I think GEX sells (or used to sell) an adapter 
plate that is welded on.

Yes, although you'll likely need to lengthen the downpipe 10mm or so to clear the steering rack 
brackets.  Mine touches and vibrates under engine braking, have a tall block Techtonics 
dual-downpipe to install one of these months to fix that.
