I know the heat shield changed between 2008 and 2009 but the whole full setup should still swap.

It sounds like you’ll be looking for a lot of OEM parts. I made a PDF with the entire 2008 parts catalog which I can send when I get home. It sure beats poking through the catalog one section at a time and gives you a quick reference for the full part number (diagrams only give reference numbers). I did the same for the 2012 parts catalog so I can compare updated parts and such. No reason to get pigeonholed on an unavailable 2008 part so I’ll send both.
I figured OEM would be the easiest and cheapest, that’s all. Not really sure if I should go with OEM on the headers or if there’s any recommendations on budget aftermarket replacements.
