    if u got the right stuff the down pipe bolts are easy too. But I get what you are saying, most people will crank until they round off the bolts then there SOL.

    Now matter what you have down pipe bolts break a lot more than 02 sensor threads strip.

    Thanks guys... I live in an apartment and have a small garage, so it's extremely difficult to work on my car. I took it to a garage and they told me that my cat is bad. He said it looks like it's been ran that way for quite a while. I told him it's only been 2-3 wks and he didn't believe me. He also said I need an O2 sensor (I knew that). He quoted me $346 for the cat and $70 to install. I'm gonna buy my own cat for about $150 to $200 and have a buddy install it for next to nothing. He knows what he's doing too. Of course, I don't see why it would be that difficult. If I had a bigger garage I'm sure I could do it myself. I also need new spark plug wires and plugs. Any other time in my life this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm laid off now, and money is tight. Gotta roll with the punches I guess. Thanks again guys.

    just buy a whole new down pipe, you can get a used stock one for under $50 if you look for one. Your o2 sensor is probably ok too.
