Yeah I ended up doing it pretty similar to that. Got everything together today and I need a godamn o2 extension for the drivers side. I'm steaming. I was under the impression that was an 04 thing. Definitely not the case. Hardest part was removing the passenger side O2 sensor I think. The bolts werent much easier. She'll sit as is until I get the extension.

Yea, I just went to an exhaust shop and got O2 bungs and welded them up farther in my UPR x pipe when I put it on my GT. Went to hardware store and got hex head plugs and loctite them in the rear O2 bungs.

Then again I had access to a lift, welder etc...

taken at the end of last winter...hence all the salt on the bottom of the car lol

What type of catback? It wont be too loud unless your on the gas. I have mac longtubes, bbk o/r h, and a flowmaster catback and you cant even notice a difference at idle.
