No cutting. You can buy any of the three for a 5 speed. Longtubes are the only way to go, though, IMO.

probably not. Most midpipes are a one piece design so they won't work with longtubes. However some are a 3 piece design (slp). One rule to go buy is that you should match brands on your long tubes and your midpipe. You will have a much easier time during installation.

To fit what hes already got he'd need either shories or mid length righ. If he wants long tubes he'd need a new shortie X or H pipe to fit them.

long tubes are the only ones that will add enough hp to be worth the money. However you would have to get a new mid pipe.
