Last question, do I need the pass-through socket that is shown in the beginning? Where do I need to use it for?

Thanks for the write up!
I installed this header by myself too. Pretty straightforward.

I didn't torque the o2 sensor, just tightened it snug. Antiseize is a good idea.

It's always good practice to replace exhaust gakset, but I reused my front pipe to catback gasket. No problem.

I don't think I needed pass-through wrench/socket that was shown in the picture.

Good luck! Removing overpipe/front pipe piece from header was a bit challenging.
