Do I need new gaskets or hardware to install this?

Check your vehicle's service manual for the torque specs and gasket requirements at the inlet and outlet flanges. Most installations benefit from fresh gaskets to ensure a proper seal—we recommend picking those up separately if you don't have them on hand.

Will this pass an emissions test?

This converter is built to OEM emissions specifications and should meet your state's testing standards. If you're in a strict emissions region, confirm the converter's certification level matches your local requirements before purchase.

Can I install this myself or do I need a shop?

If you have basic hand tools and a lift or jack, you can tackle this DIY. It bolts to your existing exhaust; the main challenge is heat and confined space under the vehicle. A shop visit is always safer if you're unsure about working under your car.
