Exhaust removal help!

Ok guys, so... Putting on this new exhaust, I've gotten pretty far but am stuck. Got all the nuts off the turbo/cat connection (no broken studs!). Slid the straps to unlock the exhaust in the rear. Exhaust will now 'float' so Its completely disconnected, all except for the o2 sensors. (I'm not hanging it by the o2 sensors, so don't fret)

So. I'm worried that if I unbolt the o2 sensors, the wires will break due to the rotation. How in the hell?

Put it simply... I have loosened with the 22mm wrench. Is it safe to rotate the o2 sensors to remove and twist the wires? or is that a bad idea?

no issues in twisting the wires for the O2 sensors. You can also take the wires out of the harness/clip located inside the engine bay to make it easier.

Just use a 22mm and take off the sensors, the wires won't break. Which exhaust did you go with?

Tubi, one that was used someone was selling.

Did what you suggested, all was good. Went for a drive a while ago, MUCH louder, especially under WOT. In fact, under WOT, scares small children.
