Will this bolt up to my factory catalytic converter?

Yes. This catback system connects at the cat outlet and uses factory mounting points. No welding or modifications required.

Does this come with a muffler gasket and clamp hardware?

The exhaust assembly ships complete. Confirm all fasteners are present during unboxing—if anything is missing, reach out before installation.

Do I need to paint or seal the stainless steel before install?

No prep needed. Stainless steel handles exposure naturally. Install as-is, and the finish will develop a patina over time with heat cycles.
