^ three options.
1) what i did, the harness for the 02 sensors is like, push pinned into the chassis if i recall. i ripped the clamp out of the chassis and it added several inches to the harness, which gave enough room to plug into the new pipe.
2) if you can solder, cut the wires on your 02 sensor and splice in an extra 6 inches or so of wire.
3) buy some 02 extensions
every midpipe ive used fits the exact same way. all have the 02 sensors a little lower than stock. so buying a different midpipe would be a foolish waste of money for you...

Still though, I didn't have issues connecting them to my mac o/r x. Now, MU7, the procedures you stated go with every aftermarket midpipe?

the mac tru x-pipe is awesome. I want something similar to it which is why I think I'm going with UPR. I had a bassani x-pipe and sold it, too raspy.

actually it really wasnt much, if any money, to swap mid pipes out thats probably why i did it so much. didnt cost any money and i couldnt ever decide on a sound. i always bought them used, and would sell mine for usually the same price or sometimes higher, or lower. so all in all, i spent MAYBE 100$ to swap mid pipes all those times. and i had free lift access so zero cost in labor.
i would have never done it if i was buying brand new pipes and throwing hte old ones in the dumpster and paying someone 100+$ to install it every time.
