How to install muffler, Pics included Options

[CasCelica]

Hi.

Bought a 97' Celica a couple of months ago and decided to get among other things, a muffler. Found a A'PEXi N1 on ebay and bought it. But when it arrived I realized many things I didn't think of when buying it in the first place (I know, I know.. not very smart)


Problem 1

I thought I just had to remove the old cat and insert the muffler there but the pipe from the cat doesn't go straight forward (see picture). Can I just cut of the pipe near the cat and put the muffler in there?


Problem 2

As you also can see from the picture, there is three mounts. If anyone has installed a straight muffler like this, how did you do that?
