Default Mac o/r h pipe install

Well I finally got the bottom bolt on the passenger side off, but I'm not sure since this is my first time dealing with this, the o2 sensor on the passenger side up to the manifold went back in correctly with the new h pipe, but the one on the driver side to the manifold wont reach the h pipe, the cord is to short. But I put the o2 sensors back into the holes for the rear o2 sensors. Where are the mil eliminators supposed to go? I figured they replaced the old ones under the middle of the car, but I just used the stock ones. Anyways, besides that problem I only have the bolts from the catback to the h pipe hand tight and the catback is lower than normal and like 2 inches from scraping, and its really pissing me off. The leak from the o2 sensor is loud and obnoxious so I cant really here a difference with the new h pipe. What am I supposed to do?

the mill elims go in the wires for the o2's if you unplug the o2's frome there wires the mills should plug in between the wiring harness and th 02's i know that doesn't make sence but i can't figure out how ot tell you.

yeah like tim said.

between the sensor and harness.

you must have screwed up the threads on the old o2 sensor.

that or try to re tap the bung for it.


is the whole h pipe lower....or jsut the back?

when you get the rest of the catback hooked up, the h will have more support from the hanger on the muffs.

hook it all up, loosen and str8en it out...then tighten it up reall good.

Yes, the MIL eliminators go on the rear 02 sensors.

you really have to hold the midpipe up close to the body while you tighten the manifold bolts or it will end up hanging too low even with the hangars from the aftercat. You will probably have to loosen them off a little and push up on the midpipe as hard as you can.

It's a double edged sword though. You still have to allow anough clearance so that the pipe doesn't hit the bottom of the car.

Must be nice only having to take an hour for yours. Maybe if I had all the right tools the first time than I would have gotten it done. I'm gonna go to the parts store and buy more bolts for the back. I also cant get the o2 sensor to the drivers side by the manifold. I was told to unhook the h pipe and hook in the o2 sensor and then bolt the h pipe back to the manifold. I hope that works otherwise I dont know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna have someone hold up the catback so I can tighten the bolts as tight as they can so it wont be so low to the ground. Thanks for all the advice.
