Quick help: will a 5" diameter CAT fit?

Looking at below hi flow cat for my car. Got my headers prepped, need a cat now. This one seems fine, high flow and such. They also have a smaller 4" cat with 200 CPI vs this bigger 5" with only 100 CPI.

Anyone know if the 5 incher will fit?

Well, I bought it. Gonna make it fit now.

Here is the header. Believe it's supersprint.

Ya, high temp silicone paint. Still debating if I should spray the heat wrap to protect it from water...
