I paid $100 here in So Cal to have my JoeZ installed. I just went to local, random mom & pop shop that had great online reviews. Even with an O2 tool I simply couldn't get my sensors off the stock exhaust by crawling under the car. I just couldn't get the right leverage, plus those bolts had 50k of untouched miles on them.

The guy mentioned the exhaust would remove cats but I told him "that's fine" and that was the end of his argument.

But I didn't know about pulling wires under the carpet...and haven't had any issues.

Are u having problems with mechanical issues removing the sensors or is this about taking out wires out of the carpet?

If its mech then u just need more leverage for torquing it off. Or buy some liquid grease..
If u meant electronic with the wires and all then you can buy o2 sensor wires to extend them or

Thats surprising Here in CA we dont have that issue even most shops will take care of it and probably will not leave a paper trail to remove liability. But I guess it just depends with the shop you take it too.

Took three hours but could of saved one maybe if had slowed down. Lol. (Wrong way up).

Sounds beast mode! Couldn't imagine headers too. I don't think wife would ever go for it.

Sounds nasty. The way it should of from factory.
