Do I need new gaskets or clamps to install this?

The assembly ships ready to bolt on at factory points. You'll want new gaskets between the catback and catalytic converter flange — grab a replacement gasket set before install day.

Will this system require welding or cutting?

No. This is a direct bolt-on system that uses factory mounting locations. No cutting, no welding, no custom fabrication needed.

How do I keep the polished tip looking clean?

Stainless steel polishes stay bright with light detailing — a microfiber cloth and basic car wax will maintain the finish. You'll see some thermal discoloration near the outlet from exhaust heat, which is normal and doesn't affect function.
