Default Installation of o/r h pipe sucks!

I finally installed my o/r h pipe. It only took 6 hours. I love how ford decided to cram the frame of the car, starter and wheel well all next to the passanger side bolts of the stock h. Even worse, getting to the o2 sensors. But after many injuries and swear words and the use of a 3 foot break bar( impact wrench couldn't loosen the bolts), the job was on its way....it was all worth it...the stang is now a beast, it sounds amazing....sound clips to follow soon.

yeah , I couldnt cram my hand up past the passenger side pipe to plug the o2 sensor connectors back together. Had to use 2 fingers to get them back together! What a PITA! I wonder if unscrewing the sensors from the pipe before taking the stock pipe out, letting them hang by the wires, and screwing them back in to the new pipe would be easier than trying to get those friggin plugs back together. If only they werent way up behind the block, and the wires are too short!
