Mine took me about 2 hours just to remove the secondary O2 sensor from the oem header. It was apparently cross threaded from the factory.

I paid P&L $100 to install it for me. No hassle

You didn't get a loaner kit from autozone?
It's was very helpful to remove the o2 sensor.

thats why i bought the sensor socket haha

I had a sensor socket but it only helps so much when the sensor was cross threaded.

yea thats true. i had to soak the hell out of mine to get them to come off. when i was putting them on i thought i was gonna strip them.

ALB · 10-24-2014, 05:21 PM

In mine, the front one came right out, easy. The secondary I was starting to expand my socket and round off the sensor. I ended up using wd40 and heat gun to work it out and the threads were all messed up.

Dear International OFH customers,
We ran into an issue with USPS and 10 packages were held at the post office. We went down to the post office and finally tracked them down and after speaking with the manager they are finally on the way. The same tracking info sent to your email will still be valid. They should be enroute now and tracking should be updated from now. Thank you all again for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience. We will make sure the packages have smoother transactions from now on.

Cheers and have a good weekend

So there was going to be 50 headers to fill ALL the orders of those WAITING but then there was only 41
Then there was going to be another 20 so no one would have to WAIT!!
Sales reply to numerous emails about no tracking trying to blame USPS
WORST purchasing experience ever.
Strange that all international purchasers seem to have been forced to the back of the queue..
I would only buy these if they were in physically sitting there in a shop ready to go right then and there.

btw mine got stuck as well

suspect international guys got held up due lack of international customs declaration or something similar which did not effect the local guys.

its frustrating but happens unfortunatly.

Thanks for your positive reassuring words, I think I'm just going to reschedule my install for mid November

Mine appears to be stuck somewhere (shows pre shipment info sent to USPS 2 day priority shipping on tracking since Tuesday) and I'm domestic.

No response from sales, and I also only bought this under the statement that it was in stock and ready to ship.

If this is truly a USPS issue, someone needs to get a new shipping method, because this doesn't appear to be an isolated case.

If Vishnu, in the other hand, just printed a USPS label and never sent it out, that's a different story but I was promised it was shipping out Monday or Tuesday. It is now Saturday with no change in status and no communication.

EDIT: Looks like I finally have movement on mine within USPS. Hope I can install it next week.

troek · 10-25-2014, 07:23 AM

ive had packages show up at my door, with the shipping info never having been updated. Ill then get an email saying the package has arrived at the sorting facility like a week later, lol. government workers.....
