Maybe new exhaust hangers if your catback system doesn't already come with it.
You may also have to do some welding.

I don't think there is much else.

Youll definately need 2 exhaust hangers. The shop charged me $16.?? for them when they put my exhaust on.

some kits come with the hangers, some will now, if they don't then just get a coat hanger or some wire to hold the pipe up in a few places and then make ur way to a muffler shop to have them make some hangers, but i think that alot of kits come with hangers or they have some for a few extra $$.

Is your old exhaust welded on... mine was and there was no way in h3ll it was comming off in one piece, I had to buy a Sawzall.I had to rig up some hangers, which I will have replaced when I get the system welded. (wanted to get the headers in first)
