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:
Invidia Gemini Cat Back Exhaust Installation, 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe

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.

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.

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

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).
