It has dented some a little, but I will clear the threads up once the stock exhaust is gone.

 

You will definatley have to update if you were able to clean them up!

 

Sure but there is no problem just putting new nuts on there already now.

 

Thanks, quick question can I remove the o2 sensor without unplugging the harness and just let it hang there until I get the new exhaust on?

 

Hi...

Yes you can. Just be careful with the wire so you do not kink/twist it. Or it is easy to unplug the top right by the motor mounts....

Again...Just be careful with the wire. For re-install....twist the wire in reverse...then start threading so it will be normal when completely screwed in.

Good luck!

Thanks, ok will try to find the connector first.

 

if you dont disconnect the harness you will twist the snot out of it. and yo have 4 to remove. unplug them and use a 7/8 crows foot to remove them

 

Is it any of those connectors?


The front O2 sensors came of quite easy.

 

If the nuts are that tight and doesnt take the stud out when removing, how are you supposed to remove the stud(s)? I will be installing an exhaust in the spring and was planning to replace the studs.

 

Not sure I understand, but the studs are reused, as long as you dont snap them

I really liked this approach since the studs are not exposed to any violent forces, the crappy nuts die a well deserved death though...

 

Apparently you're supposed to replace them...I bleive Europipe even includes new ones.

 

Xbox yes those are the connectors you need to disconnect. There are a pair like that on each side.

 

Yes, a little tight since I have airbox and y-pipe in the way, but yes those where a no-brainer to loosen.

My driver side front o2 didnt come out nicely so I need to get a replacement asap, any suncoast link for this or part no?

 

That would be the pre-cat sensor and the part is BOSCH 997 606 128 02

New o2's ordered, from the US (stupid prices here 50-100% higher, not even asking the dealer for a quote)

Good 1h session today, exhaust is off including removing y-pipe and airbox to get better access to o2 sensor cabels.
