With your 07 it should be a piece of cake because your bolts are new.

It simply bolts in, so remove the bolts and out it falls.

It can get to be a PITA on older cars because of severely rusted bolts, but you should be fine

Well if you have the Invidia V3 its a 70mm pipe and you don't want to choke it down with berk's 63mm test pipe. Go with invidia's 70mm test pipe, thats what im running.

We don't know if you can do it yourself; we don't even know if you can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Easy to do. Make sure you have jack stands so the car doesn't fall on you.
