Will this fit with my current exhaust setup?

This header uses the factory bolt pattern and outlet, so it's compatible with most aftermarket downpipes and catback systems designed for your platform. Test-fit before permanently securing to confirm clearance with your specific exhaust configuration.

Do I need to prep or paint this before installation?

The stainless steel comes ready to bolt on—no coating or prep needed. It'll develop a natural patina under heat, which is normal and part of stainless character. If you want a polished look, you can wire-wheel and polish it anytime.

What hardware comes with the header?

The header assembly ships as one unit. Verify that your existing engine bay hardware (gaskets, manifold bolts, O2 sensor if applicable) is in good condition before installation—you may need fresh gaskets depending on mileage.
