We rolled the Mustang up on the Rhino ramps to get a lay of the land underneath, and the only tricky part we see is getting the one O2 sensor off closest to the manifold. There really wasn't enough room under there with the ramps, so we're going to put it up high on the jacks tomorrow, assuming it stays dry here in MD. Any advice or known gotchas, especially getting to that one 02 sensor? Thanks.

John

If I recall correctly, we unbolted the stock exhaust pipe connection at the manifold and let the cat drop down slightly. There was enough give in the O2 sensor wire that we could get it off then.

I just removed my factory H and installed the Pypes H on Wednesday night; total R&R time: 1 hour. Used ramps and jacks.

As far as the sensors, I unplugged each one (including the one closest to the engine) at their harness connections. This way, I dropped the whole assembly and then R&R'd the sensors into the new pipe. You will find harness connections beside each sensor; for the top sensor, the harness connection is above the transmission housing.

Thanks,
