I agree, but all I was saying is it only takes one snapped stud or a couple of stripped bolts to REALLY make this a sh!t deal.

Right at that moment when the lower stud on the driver's side snaps off, he'll be thinking, "Why the FOOK didn't I listen to gp and have a local muffler shop just back them off a little [:@]"

But those O2 sensor sockets are the BOMB, yo! Kind of a specialized tool, so most won't have it laying around in the toolbox. Probably could rent one from the Zone, but hell, by the time you run over there and rent it, you just as easily could have had a local muff shop back things off - seriously, it took the shop I went to less than 10 minutes to throw it in the air and pop every thing loose, and they had to cut 3 of the 4 bolts at the rear of the factory mid-pipe. and it cost me $10...
