Will this bolt directly to my stock catalytic converter?

Yes. This is a catback system, meaning it connects at the factory converter and runs to the rear bumper. No cutting or welding required.

Do I need any mounting hardware to install this?

The system uses factory mounting points. Confirm all hardware is present before installation; fasteners specific to your vehicle's attachment points may need to be sourced separately if damaged.

Will the stainless tip need any finishing before install?

The tip arrives ready to bolt on. It's polished stainless and doesn't require primer or paint. You can clean it with household stainless steel cleaner to maintain shine after install.
