it should install easy as long as you can break your cat bolts loose(i had to grind mine off) but just some ratchets and wrenches and abut 30-60 min

easy man i installed the same exact exhaust get some liquid wrench silicon lube for the cat bolts mine were rusted and took every bit of strenght i had to get them loose and a whole lot of cussing. it took me about 2 hours due to my sorry jack lost tools and i cant work on my car on base so i waited until night and took it to a car wash next to base and put the stocker in the back of my friends suv be prepared for a loud exhaust and some new rattles when the top is up, i had a loud buzz in the back of my car whenever i was at about 3500 rpm. i put a towel in the back around the gas tank fuel tube thing in the back of the trunkand surprisingly the bees in a can sound went away. good luck man and this exhaust sounds awesome at wot

Since you have an '07, I don't think it's gonna be difficult.
Make sure you use a lot of silicone spray.
the cat bolts will come off easily.
I even had a break bar, but didn't use it at all.
Good luck!

Yea since you have an 07 should not be any problem. The cat bolts are the only pain make sure to lube up all the rubber mounts and it will be a snap.

If this is your only transport.....I reccomend getting some (3) bolts for the cat midpipe union. I agree with previous posts that since it is an 07, they should loosen, not break. However, if they do $3-4 dollars in bolts will save you a headache.

If you don't use them, you eventually need them if you ever go back to stock....

I am assuming it comes with new nuts since its an invidia. My invidia single came with new nuts made life easier.

Good advice from all. Same exhaust here, same recomendations. One point though, if you haven't bought the exhaust yet, consider purchasing from a sponsor. We have alot of fine ones here and the pricing is very competative.
