Using this Cobb cat - back exhaust is straightforward. First, make sure you have all the included gaskets and hardware ready. If you're using a stock j pipe or downpipe, don't forget to get the GrimmSpeed adapter. Then, follow the installation guide for easy bolt - on installation. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of 304 stainless steel, it has good corrosion resistance. But it's still a good idea to check it regularly for any signs of damage or wear. You can clean it with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking its best. Also, keep in mind that it must comply with the SAE 95db noise limit, so don't modify it in a way that might exceed this limit.
