This should give you enough room to remove the factory overpipe and get the Cosworth midpipe in place.
The hard part for me was removing the factory overpipe. The heat shields make it a little hard to remove. But if you jack up the engine enough to get the factory overpipe out, the Cosworth should go in just fine.
No lift needed but it would be easier if you had one. If you haven't installed any of the exhaust yet, I would remove all the factory exhaust and then start by installing the Cosworth midpipe first and then working your way back. Do the axleback last and you will have more room.

Make sure you open the hood otherwise it get really tight if you have the supercharger.
