Since I have a pipe like the one pictured am I going to have problems?

If your current exhaust is a welded system before you cut it out remove the middle brace support and check the intermideate pipe where it´s connected to the S pipe after the Cat. If the intermediate pipe has a small S bend in it you will have problems because the one Magnaflow supply is a straight connection and it fits tight against the prop. I needed to get a new intermidiate pipe made.
This is a picture of mine and the second picture with the new pipe made.

The Intermideate pipe in the Magnaflow system you have indicated is a straight pipe.
Talk to Magnaflow about it. Mention your concerns and go from there. If they say it will fit then you maybe have some comeback it it doesn´t.
The Magnaflow agent I bought my system through in the UK paid for my new pipe to be made.
The O2 sensor is in the S bend welded to the Cat so you don´t have to worry about that.
Unfortunately there are a lot of small difference´s between pre 1998 and post 1998 that aren´t an issue until you come up against them.
Good luck

my wife's 98 was straight after the s-pipe and had a u bolt clamp on it under the tunnel brace. theyre shouldnt be any issues with fitment. if there is, then it wouldn't be a bolt on. magnaflow is a good choice and their kits fit well. when you get it, just mock it up first before tightening anything. make sure there is enough clearance around everything. if needed, you can disconnect the shocks and sway bar and the rear will drop down pretty far. if you want any sound clips of a 3.8 with a magnflow, check out darlingreject's video
btw, i have a cat delete pipe for sale that will fit
