whew, thanks for the help man i thought i was going crazy, i literally cut the box up trying to find a bolt or something lol.
this will be my first mod...weee excited cant wait now awaiting the cf exhaust shield before installing. btw guys is it hard install the catback with the 02 sensor? ive only installed a catback on my previous car but that was straight forward, no need to mess with 02 sensor.
since i bought it used, of course i didnt get the silencer or instruction...but for $290shipped im not complaining much

lol i had to take the laptop with me to school since the auction ended at 8am and i was in class. i was freaking out when i made the thread because im in so cal and the seller is in OK so i thought mannn shipping back would be more than the exhaust itself

can u guys tell me what i need to do for the 02 sensor part? just basic take it off and put it on the pipe? sorry for being such a n00b

just make sure that when you do the install you:

A: SOAK all nuts/bolts with WD40 or PB Blaster beforehand.

B: Be helluva careful when removing the O2 sensor and count how many turns it takes to remove it. When you install the Espelir you can twist the O2 sensor that many times so that when you tighten it you are unwinding it. The wires won't be all messed up and twisted that way.

C: Make sure you have the proper tools before install. Impact or air ratchet will make a big difference in the time it takes.

D: You'll have to put 2&2 together when you get to installing the rear exhaust hangers since you have to slightly modify the one under the trunk/spare tire.

E: Having exhaust jacks or padded jackstands make solo exhaust installs a breeze.
