like maybe it was not torqued down properly and the exhaust seemed to vibrate it out so when i punched the gas today i heard this loud exhaust leek i thought the worst and got home to find out that the o2 sensor was out eh hole so i looked at the threads on the o2 and it looked good so i put it in and torqued it down and the funny thing is that i did not throw a code either?
