Will this bolt straight up to my current exhaust?

Yes. This converter mounts at the factory attachment points and connects to your existing exhaust piping. No custom piping or adapters needed.

Do I need a new gasket when I install this?

Always use a fresh gasket at the flange connection point. Don't reuse the old one—it won't seal properly a second time.

What if my check engine light doesn't clear after installation?

A new converter should resolve emissions codes, but if the light stays on, the original problem might be upstream (O2 sensors, fuel trim, etc.). Get a full diagnostic scan before assuming converter failure.
