Will this bolt directly to my stock catalytic converter?

Yes — this system is designed to clamp to your existing catalytic converter. Test-fit the clamp before final tightening to ensure a clean seal.

Do I need to remove the old exhaust first?

Absolutely. You'll need to unbolt the existing system at the mounting points and remove it completely before installing this one. Plan on 1–2 hours if you're working solo.

Is any prep work needed before installation?

Clean the mounting surface and catalytic converter clamp area to ensure a tight fit. Check all welds visually before bolting up — this system ships ready to install.
