im puttin mine on now do i have to unclip the o2 sensor

 

No. Thats more of a hassle to do then it's worth.

 

thanks its all good just twisted it before puttin it in so it would be straight when tight

 

Going to order mine for the LE5 this summer. How is CIA on the time between ordering and receiving? Not that it matters, just so I know about when to order it.

 

great write up. the only thing that i am wondering is did you happen to unplug the o2 sensor. the reason why i ask is it gets all twisted.

I def wish my nuts just came off the stud. the whole thing come out for me.

anyone take the o2 out by the plug in the engine bay so it didnt get twisted? I was thinking about installing mine today...

 

assuming this guide works for any downpipe

 

I ended up holing the wires at the o2, then twisting/spinning it out. mines fine

 

How do you "pry off" the headers gasket? I baught a MPx downpipe and it came with no new gaskets.

Anyone can help me on this?

 

any tips on breaking the o2 sensor loose? im thinking of heating it up with a torch? any other ideas. i used wd40. wouldnt budge

 

Nothing beats PB. Hit it with a good shot and let it soak for a few then go at it. Should come right off.

 

wrong. i tried this.... nothing.

i ended up torching it for 5-10 minutes. pb blaster didnt do anything... first time pb blaster has failed me

 

does anybody no the torque specs for all the bolts on the dp?? the one on the turbo flange, on the exhaust side, and the o2 sensor??
