This pipe will definitely not bolt up to an MPE without modification for a couple of reasons.

1. The two connecting pipes that meet the single 3.5" pipe are ball and socket flanges, just like the original AA pipe. The MPE piping is a slip fit design, to slip over the OEM pipe once it's cut and then clamped on.

2. The lengths are totally wrong, if you look at the green lines that you drew which is where you would cut to fit the MPE, it's in a completely different area of the VRSF pipe if you lined them up next to each other.

The only way to bolt this VRSF pipe, as well as the AA pipe, is to cut the MPE piping and clamp the VRSF/AA connecting pipes to it just as you would an OEM muffler.
