Do I need a gasket kit or hardware to install this?

This assembly connects at factory bolt points. Check your vehicle's exhaust system for gasket condition at the manifold flange and converter outlet — replace any that are cracked or flattened before bolting on the new unit.

Will my check engine light clear after installation?

A failed converter triggers a code that typically clears once the new unit is installed and the vehicle cycles through emissions readiness. If the light returns after 50–100 miles, have the O2 sensors scanned — they may need service or replacement.

Do I need to remove anything else to get this in?

You'll need access to the manifold bolts under the hood and the converter outlet at the undercarriage. Some heat shielding may need temporary removal for clearance — refer to your service manual for bolt torque specs and removal sequence.
