Using this exhaust system is straightforward. First, you'll need to cut the factory exhaust as per the instructions. Then, use the factory-style hangers to mount the system directly to the factory mounting locations. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the exhaust tips and the overall system for any signs of damage or loose parts. Since it's made of 304 stainless steel, it's fairly resistant to corrosion, but a gentle cleaning every once in a while can keep it looking great. Remember, some cutting is required during installation, so make sure to follow the instruction sheet carefully. And as for emissions, this product doesn't need a CARB EO#, so you don't have to worry about that.
