invidia exhaust install
 

i purchased my exhaust and it will be here on thursday. ive been looking on the forum and couldnt find anything about diy installation (sorry if i missed it). does anybody have a detailed installation with pics or do you know of anywhere on the net that i can find one? any help is appreciated. thanks

1) Unbox Invidia
2) remove stock system with hand tools
3) Install Invidia system
4) Drive around with a goofy grin for an hour or so...

You shouldn't have any trouble, but here's something to give you an idea of what you're doing:

Depending on where you're at in VA, I'd be happy to lend a hand if needed.

Yeah, Wheee!'s not trying to be a jerk...it's literally that simple. If you have a socket set and some anti-seize you could do it yourself. If you have access to a lift, it's even easier. Feel around the flanges after to make sure there's no exhaust leaks and double check to see the exhaust tips are even. Don't pay for 1 to 1.5 hrs of labor at a shop for something you can do yourself. :tup:

lift up your car and look under. its really too easy to make a diy thread about it.

Ya,.... djpathfinder changed his exhaust with a sandwich in his hand the whole time...

:hello: ok haha thanks for making me feel dumb. i just didnt want to get into something myself and get overwhelmed. glad its an easy job though thanks

im pretty far away from you. i live near va tech, thanks anyway though i should be ok, im going to put it on in my cousins garage and hes installed exhaust on his M3 and turbo civic before so he should know what hes doing.

whats anti-seize, where can i buy it and where to i put it at haha. im guessing its some kind of gasket seal or something?

an auto parts store should carry them. they come in a small packet like a ketchup packet. it's purpose is to prevent metal to fuse into other metals through super high temperatures. I assume that some people spread anti-seize on the bolts and nuts to make it easier to take out in the future. I did not use any anti-seize on my bolts or nuts. the flanges do not get that hot for just normal driving.

oh ok i probably wont either then. i can imagine my exhaust getting hot enough to fuse two metals together

Yea, don't worry about using anti-seize. I've only used it on my spark plugs.

And a beer in the other hand...doh! That's why the exhaust tips were crooked... :-)

Sorry, I meant the stuff you spray on the old nuts and bolts to help loosen them...That may be optional depending on how corroded the old bolts are (winter salt).

PB Blaster!
