Very noobish question

[mrhandle]

Please excuse my question beforehand because I'm new to the game and does not have clue what is what so please be aware with me. Speaking of which, I'm planning to buy http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ft-8...l#.WVnC6ojyvIU inspired by other user in this forum. And my question is that can I only switch out it's muffler and use my stock front pipe instead of front pipe it comes with? (only because I don't want my exhaust to be too loud and it seems using stock front pipe would reduces its loudness) if I can, are there any separate materials that I need to buy in order to connect its muffler and stock front pipe or I'm good to go without any? Thank you very much!

Don't sweat asking a noob question, but try using the search function in the future, because your answer is very likely somewhere in this forum from plenty of other people asking the same question in the past.

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anything about a front pipe as a part of this package. It's just the midpipe and axleback sections (a typical catback setup), so you'd still be using your original front pipe because you're not eliminating any catalytic converters (one exists in your header, the other in your front pipe). From the videos they posted on that product page of just this bolted on to the car it's really not that loud even when you get into the happy section up high.

Have a look at this vid, and keep in mind that they're installing a catless header on top of that catback, but they are using the stock section between the header and the midpipe (which would be your front pipe):

So just keep in mind that this car in the video is much louder than what you'll end up with due to having the aftermarket header along with the exhaust, and even then it's not ridiculously loud. Your car won't be loud at all with the catback alone.

Also helpful is the attached diagram below. You're only changing the two pieces on the right of the image:
