It won't fit straight on no.

You will need a tapered pipe, and also need to bodge it onto the part of the exhaust that kinks over the top of the axle, which would mean hacking off that part from your existing back box. Not that easy, and also the welding would be a bit dire aswell. Mild steel doesn't take too kindly to it.

^^^ agreed, would require some welding and tweaking to get it to sit right, plus a few hangers welded on to get it to stay in position. you'd probably be better of going to an exhaust place and getting them to make one up for you. shouldn't cost much more than that one.
