Will I need new gaskets or hardware to install this?

You'll want fresh gaskets where the catback meets the cat converter — reusing old ones often causes leaks. Mounting hardware for factory attachment points is standard, but confirm what's in the box before you start.

Does this bolt straight to the factory cat converter?

Yes, it's designed to connect at the factory catalytic converter outlet using the original mounting points. No drilling or brackets needed.

Can I install this myself with basic tools?

Catbacks are one of the most straightforward bolt-ons. You'll need jack stands, a socket set, and a jack. Plan 1–2 hours. If you're unsure about safely lifting your vehicle, have a shop handle it.
