no welding I don't think. I believe they just plug in, I didn't install mine had the shop do it. I believe they should just plug into your old plugs for your pre-existing O2 sensors. Should be easy to locate if you put the pipes on your car. I could crawl under mine and take a look for ya if nobody else knows for sure....

Yes I had to do the same thing because one end of the sensor did not line up with the ears...i took the MILs to work and grinded the ears off with our grinder then re notched where they needed to be. It will work fine because the clamp on top of the sensor will hold them in place.

Also, there is no reason your car should run any differantly..The only purpose for the MILs is to turn off your check engine light because of the X pipe. Should by no means effect performance.

Your engine may have been idling abnormaly, due to the fact you had one MIL installed. The computer may have been reading this as a problem, since one engine bank appeared to be operating normally, and the other bank registered a problem.
