Will this bolt up using my factory mounting points?

Yes—this converter mounts at the OEM flange locations. You'll reuse your existing exhaust hangers and fastener holes. No drilling or relocation needed.

Do I need a gasket or sealant before installation?

Use a fresh gasket at the exhaust manifold flange and at any downpipe connection point. Don't rely on the old gasket—combustion pressure will find any leak.

Can I install this myself with basic hand tools?

Absolutely. You'll need a socket set, jack, and jack stands. Most installations run 1–2 hours. Let the exhaust cool completely before touching it, and support the converter from below while you work—don't let it hang on the bolts alone.
