Using this exhaust is easy. First, gather simple hand tools. The kit includes everything you need for installation, along with a new 'doughnut' gasket for your factory J - pipe. You don't need any additional adapters. Just follow the basic steps of attaching the exhaust to your vehicle. When it comes to the sound, if you want it quieter, you can use the included silencers. For maintenance, regularly check the connections to make sure they're tight. Keep the titanium clean with a mild soap and water solution. If you notice any issues within the first year, it's covered by the manufacturer's warranty, so don't hesitate to reach out.
