Will I need to remove or replace the catalytic converter?

This system bolts directly to your existing catalytic converter—no cat replacement needed. If your cat is damaged or removed, you'll need to address that separately before install.

What hardware or gaskets come with this exhaust?

The assembly ships complete and ready to bolt on. Verify all connection points and gaskets are present before installation; have a gasket kit or RTV silicone on hand in case factory seals are compromised during removal.

Do I need to weld anything or use clamps?

This is a bolt-together system—no welding required. All connections use factory-style slip joints and clamps. Basic hand tools and a jack are all you need to hang the system.
