Tomei Exhaust System tips

hello everyone. well today for cyber Monday I ordered the Ecutek with cable tune and license for a really good price from AMR performance. well I have the Tomei exhaust system. Tomei EL headers, Tomei overpipe, Tomei straight pipe and Tomei 60s exhaust. I want to know if you guys can offer any tips on removing the stock headers and O2 sensors. I know there is a stubborn bolt. im not sure which one it is, yet. and what did you do to remove the o2 sensors the easiest and safest way.
thanks

Go to Kragens/O Reillys/Autozone and rent an O2 sensor removable tool. For the header, make sure you have deep sockets to reach the nuts.

Are you finding the whole system to be too loud?

Tomei Exhaust System tips

Remove the header with the 02s in place, just make sure to disconnect them from the harness. Then remove with any wrench that'll work. The header is simple, just the six nuts that'll be very accessible once you remove the cover panel. The stubborn one is on the drivers side, not sure which one but it's simply due to clearance. I suggest you have flex joints for your ratchets. As mentioned above, the sockets with extensions, it's pretty simple. Now installing it, either have help or a jack to help you place it while you secure the gasket with nuts.

You don't have to tell us, I'm pretty sure we'll all hear it.
