yee thats it, if u do this make sure the top of the downpipe matchs up like pipe size and gasket and all match up. i blew a gasket on my aftermarket downpipe and the stock gasket was too big haha, but i got a better gasket problem solved haha
u should be able to bolt up no problem just check the specs and stuff

two cats? damn haha it should be fine it wont be as restrictive cuz the cat helps keep noise down haha thats why catless cars are freaking beast.
i have a 2.0l supercharged cobalt and im not familiar with the 2.2l motor but it should be similar as u will just be running a single cat and have better air flow
heres a pic of my vibrant downpipe and the lsj (stock) downpipe

You shouldnt need a tune. Just find a dp from an ss that is the same year as yours and there should be no issues. Everything should just bolt up just fine.
I just noticed your an 06 I would try and get a ss mani also.
