Will this bolt directly to my factory catalytic converter?

Yes. The catback design connects at your stock cat flange with factory mounting provisions throughout—no adapters or modifications needed.

Do I need to remove anything under the car before installation?

You'll need to disconnect the factory exhaust from the cat rearward. Work in the correct order: unbolt the rear hangers first, then the cat flange. Reverse for install.

Does stainless steel need any prep or coating before install?

Stainless arrives ready to install. No painting, priming, or surface treatment required—just clean bolt-on.
