    the o2 part sucks. i ended up getting a custom dp made for my sd headers, so i had them install 2 bungs in the curved pipe for the o2 and the wideband. then i cut the o2 plug off the cars harness and made it 3 foot longer and re routed it down the strut tower to the rack then the dp.

    some shops have a plug you can put in the unused o2 bung to seal it off.

    I just took everything off. And when I’m not tired and frustrated, i’ll just dent the firewall out a bit. Thanks guys. This install is a pain. Doable, just a pain in the ass lol
    I’m in Vegas so it’s hot as hell in the garage so I can only work for so long before I’m sweaty and tired lol

    i feel ya, it was 100 here today, but add lots of humidity. you need to cut a hole in the wall and install a large ac unit. what id do

    Scotty where did you get the upstream 02 sensor bung welded in? Any chance you have a pic? Is it still above the flex pipe?

    any muffler shop should be able to drill the hole and weld in a bung. the bung is like 5 bucks here in hand. welded in, the last one cost me 30 bucks in my truck, they put it up on the lift drilled and welded it in.

    if you walk in part in hand id hope its like 20 bucks to do.

    So I can have a bung welded right here where I circled, and that would work ok? The headers came with a bolt in the 02 bung would that work to plug it?
