Default Invidia Q300+Mid-pipe question

Hey guys, so I been thinking about getting the Invidia Q300 plus Mid-pipe and I have a few question for the people that has this on their 2is.
1) I am going to do this myself, so did anyone run into any problem taking the OEM parts out or fitment problem with the Invidia?
2) Any CEL after?
3) tips?


Thank you and apologize if this is already answered.

Make sure to get some WD40 as it will make your life a lot easier when you're taking off the stock exhaust, especially with the rubber hangers.

I just did this install,
I have an 08
And the 4 bolts holding the two front pipes to the cats got seized up. Spent 3 hours trying to get it off until we eventually broke our breaker bar... Went to a shop and they loosened it up for me.

The o2 sensors have gaurds around them so you either have to cut them off or get a deep o2 sensor socket.

The fitment was an 8/10
The passenger tip is a little further than the driver.

The midpipes werent perfectly center so I had to push the heat shield a little in some parts so theres more room around the pipes or else at certain RPMS there was a rattling noise.

Good luck.
