Yes it bolts onto your chassis, behind the rear tire. You will also move the hanger from the stock muffler and use them on there. It should say on the installation instructions. Good Luck dude.

no drilling. you unbolt the stock exhaust hangar holder and replace it with this one. it's easy, no worries.

you should think about some urethane exhaust hangars while you have the exhaust out. i went with kartboy's set.

Ask this question after you try to put it on....believe me, you will figure it out. It bolts to the frame right behind the rear tire. Be sure to remove the rubber hanger near that location though too. You will need that for another place on the exhaust.

Everything really only goes in one place, so it isn't too difficult. Give it shot, and then if you still don't know, ask. But I think once you see it, it will all become clear.

Good luck getting the bolts off!!!!

Read the manual!

No need to drill anything, just install the two plates and move the hanger.
