Where do you get the Motive Kit? I did a quick search and didn't find an exhaust kit. .ii

I'm curious why you want to change the exhaust system?

I'd cast my vote for the Arvinode setup.

I don't really want to change it, its rusted pretty bad and looks to need replacing.

I've always found welding to be more reliable, though. Less likely to leak, or let the connection come loose or develop a hinge like the U-bolt kind always seem to end up doing. Maybe the band type of clamps like on the new Mustangs are better?

Either way, I would not approach this kind of job convinced that everything is going to fit as accurately as dropping a new intake manifold on the engine, and that you'll absolutely be able to just tighten a few bolts and be done with it. Exhaust systems aren't that accurate, and clearances can change over the years.

I think you should find a good shop to do it so when its done you can see that the trumpets are straight. The kit that was used on my car we had to put a pipe in the tail pipe and bend it straight so the trumpets would line up right. And they still didnt.
