I would ask a gm mechanic. But lots of people have done it without problem. ALSO it should be beyond all your sensors,

if you are worried about emissions, AKA sensors, just make sure that you get the smog legal headers, and get a highflow catalytic convertor, the borla won't hurt any sensors but it will hurt your wallet, in many opinions, the performance of the borla is not worth the extra money, but it does sound unique

teh only sensor you have to worry about is the O2 sensor on the drivers side header. all slp exhaust systems are made with a bung for teh sensor built in. there si nothing to worry about, everythign will hook right up.
it si also a good opportunity to install a new O2 sensor. tehy only cost abotu $20 and will give your ecm an honest read of what is going on with teh air/fuel mix.

later
