Will this bolt directly to my factory cat, or do I need adapters?

This catback design connects at the factory catalytic converter outlet. Confirm your vehicle has the standard OEM cat location before ordering—no adapters are included.

Do the burnt tips need any prep or finishing before install?

The tips come finished. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth removes any handling dust, then you're ready to bolt on.

What hardware do I need to hang this system?

You'll want to verify your vehicle's factory bracket points and grab clamps or straps rated for exhaust weight—they're not included. Your truck's service manual will show the mounting locations.
