Default Oxygen Sensor Problem

HHHEEEELLLLPPPP.............................

Took the car to the dealer today for the oil change, brakes, etc. The check engine light has been on ever since i put in a weapon r intake (has since been removed). The code is P0161

The dealer told me it the oxygen sensor in BANK 2 SENSOR 1 and that they would charge me $400 to change it............................YEAH WHATEVER HOMIE.

Does anybody know exactly where this sensor is located so i can change it myself, I heard the car has like 4 of them.

Thanks
Ron

I changed two sensors on my car both of which were the ones that are under the hood and easily accesible. There are also 2 more by the exhaust somewhere and is harder to get to.
P0135- O2 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0155- O2 Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 1
I changed both at a local shop for $300

If you can get access to the O2 sensor, you can buy the part for about 50 bucks and replace it yourself. They usually just unscrew with a wrench. Use penetrating oil first to break thru any rust.
