Do I need any fasteners or clamps to install this?

The catback assembly is designed as a bolt-on system. Verify that all factory bolt holes align with your vehicle before final assembly — have basic hand tools and a jack ready.

Will this fit with my original catalytic converter?

Yes, this is a catback system that connects downstream of the cat. Your factory converter stays in place; no emissions components are modified.

Does the burnt tip require any prep or care before installation?

The tip is finished and ready to bolt on. Over time, burnt tips develop patina from heat — this is normal. Regular washing keeps it looking sharp.
