Using the MagnaFlow Direct - Fit Catalytic Converter is straightforward. First, gather the proper tools and make sure you're working in a safe environment. You don't need to cut or weld, just install it as directed. When installing, use the included gaskets to ensure a proper seal and avoid exhaust leaks. For maintenance, keep an eye on the check engine light. If it comes on, it might be a sign that the converter needs to be checked. Regularly inspect the converter for any signs of damage or corrosion. Remember, this converter is designed to meet or exceed Federal emissions requirements, so using it will keep your vehicle running clean and compliant. Also, make sure your vehicle is one of the compatible models listed, like 2004 - 2008 Acura TSX, 2003 - 2005 Chevrolet Express 2500/3500, or 2003 - 2005 GMC Savana 2500/3500.
