Will this fit without modifying the factory hanger points?

This is a catback system designed to mate at the catalytic converter. Test-fit before final installation to confirm hanger alignment — you may need to adjust or add custom hangers depending on your car's condition and any prior modifications.

Do I need to have the welds inspected or any prep work done before driving?

Visual inspection of all welds and connections is smart before your first drive. Make sure all clamps are tight and there are no exhaust leaks at the joints. A quick under-car walk-around after 50 miles confirms everything settled in properly.

Can I install this myself with basic hand tools?

Catback systems are typically a weekend DIY job — you'll need jack stands, basic wrenches, and patience to unbolt the factory exhaust and bolt on the new system. Lifting the car safely is non-negotiable. If you've done suspension or brake work, you've got the skill level.
