Hey guys, i know this might not be a good idea, but i want to install my brand new Invidia dual V3 on my 07 Laguna myself. What i really need (quickly) are pictures of people that have the exhaust on their cars (i.e. the setup underneath, including how to correctly place the hangers and connect the tips). If anyone wants to take the time, i'd really appreciate a sort of step by step walkthrough what goes where. I want to do very clean and dependable job no matter if it takes this newb 5 hours! Any help with this install would be so appreciated!!

 

you will need a few tools...

1. tool box
2. friend that likes beer
3. 12 pack of beer

Get these items and have fun with no instructions. It takes time but is a DIY job in my opinion.

 

i've done this by myself 7 times and it's you can do it in an hour

you will need:

-14mm socket/ratchet/wrench
-10mm socket/ratchet/wrench
-12mm socket/ratchet/wrench
-WD-40
-jack
-jackstands (if you love life)
-10mm


jack up the car on the rear right side. if you have a full tank of gas, there's a slight chance that gas might spill out of the fuel door, so check periodically and wipe it off quick if it does spill out of there. you basically remove the stabilizer bar that's between the rear wheels, freeing space so that the exhaust can be lowered down. then unbolt the stock exhaust from the catalytic converter, spray the lubricant on the rubber hangers on the resonator, and on the two mufflers, then wiggle the metal hangers on the exhaust out. install your Invidia in reverse order. it's easy because it's in 4 pieces unlike the 1 piece stocker.

 

it really isn't too hard. u just need a 14mm socket and wrench (and a 12 if you are replacing cat too), some sort of pliers to remove the rubber hangers, and some WD40 to lubricate the hangers to make them easier to remove. you will also need a jack to raise the car up.. it really isn't hard at all. just remove the bolts from the cat to the stock exhaust, remove the hangers, pull it out. then, bolt the new exhaust in and install the hangers and adjust it for proper fitment and you're done

LIBERALLY spray down the rubber hangers with WD-40. The more the better. Seriously! I had one hell of a time getting those suckers off of the OEM exhaust.

 

does anyone have pictures of the exhaust installed? I heard that you have to bend the hangers for the invidia when installing 06-07, not sure about the new V3 though

 

Thanks thats a huge help for step 1! "master s2k" your comment was just as crucial

 

you can adapt the install from my T1R install guide, the link is in my sig.

 

It's pretty much straight forward... You removed the 3 nuts from the cat studs... After that, I removed the middle hanger first then proceded to the back hangers on the mufflers. There are 2 per muffler, one towards the front and one towards the back. You can actually see one from the rear wheel well and the other one yu cant really see unless you are under the car. I suggest grabbing a spray bottle and mixing soap and water in it and spraying down the rubber pucks. I actually removed the pucks from the chassis when removing the exhaust and transferred them to the new exhaust. Whatever works for you is what is best. Now with the invidia... It is recommended install the rear section FIRST, THEN mate up the middle section to the cat and the rear section.
