It should.

You'll need to drill a hole to install the EGT Probe

Where do we install the EGT probe? In the exhaust manifold or further down stream?

Before the cats. Most aftermarket headers will have bungs that you can tap out for EGT probes. To do it right you need a dual pyrometer so you can read each bank with an EGT probe in each header.

Putting them after the cats is pointless since the temperature drops significantly.

Do the gauges come with 2 sensors/senders or do I need to buy them separate?

My exhaust is stock except for the muffler. I've not decided if I want to go with the roush kit and call it good or go whipple and have room to grow. Room to grow=more aftermarket parts.
