ok so today i have a header and downpipe that i will be installing by my self. I haven't done this before but i know i can. What tools will i need to remove the o2 sensor, and should i have any other problems to look out for?

 

im confused, header and downpipe? are you refering to the b-pipe thats used on a 2-pcs. system header?

 

I think. i got a short header so i believe i have the next pipe piece on the step on to full exaust. it should be the same length as the oem header meaning that the piupe connecting to the stock header is the pipe that i got included with the header

 

well youre going to need a 12mm to get the bolts and nuts off the head on the stock header and 14mm where it connects to the rest of the exhaust and a 14mm on the bracket honding it to the block. and i think a 22mm for the o2 sensors. lol pretty straight forward. if you cant do this you prolly should be working on cars.

An oxygen sensor socket would help, but isn't 100% necessary. Keep in mind that you may end up needing to replace some nuts and bolts.

I wouldn't start this project unless you have someone who can drive you to the store, if need be.

 

if you can't get the o2 sensor out, there's a special socket you can buy for o2 sensors. it has a cutout on the side of the socket

 

another thing you can do if you cant get the o2s out is take the stock header and take it to autozone and just use their tools to take it out. so you dont have to buy tools

 

basic tools should be good
