Do I need new hardware to bolt this on?

The system connects at the catalytic converter and rear hangers. You'll likely reuse your factory mounting points and fasteners, but inspect them for wear before install — replace any corroded bolts while you're at it.

Will this bolt straight to my car, or do I need to modify anything?

This is a direct bolt-on catback — no cutting, drilling, or welding. It bolts to existing factory connection points and hanger locations on your vehicle.

What's the difference between a burnt tip and polished stainless?
