If you only plan exhaust and intake..yes.. you'll be fine.
Hell.. I decided to cam and Gen V mine at 186K

you also picked one of the most expensive and useless things to do (full exhaust). headers are a plus in anyones book. the catback is a literal waste of money.

Make your own intake.
Full exhaust? i hope your talking about headers. A catback is pointless, it flows just fine.
Make sure all maintenance is in check first such as plugs, wires, LIM, fuel filter, new vac lines, oil change, filter change, Blah blah blah, you get the point.
Yes your car will be fine.

Edit: Looks like Bio & I are on the same page about the exhaust.

Bolt on flow mods are are good idea no matter how high the miles.
Cat back is not a flow mod, its an appearance and sound mod. (Unless your pushing 400+ whp)

This will just be the beginning of my plans I also plan on top swap and a nic cam,heads and so forth later but I will need a overhaul by then. I was just wonder if it was safe to do these bolt ons at this high of mileage I have not had good luck modding a higher mileage motor. I'm planning on the wizard intake and slp headers and catback.

Those mods will be fine on the motor.
