Will this bolt straight onto my stock manifold location?

Yes, this header uses factory mounting points — no drilling or welding required. You'll need to disconnect your OEM exhaust and unbolt the old manifold, then bolt this in place.

Do I need to repaint or prep this before install?

Stainless steel doesn't require paint or coating. It comes ready to bolt on. If you want a polished look, you can buff it, but bare stainless will patina naturally and still resist rust.

What fasteners do I need to connect this to my exhaust system downstream?

The header outlet size and flange type determine your connection. Confirm your current exhaust diameter and flange spec before ordering a downpipe or mid-section to ensure a tight fit.
