Not to be a dick or bust your *****, but before posting anything you should really get feedback from Gruppe-S. They are an awesome vendor who actually answer their phones during business hours...opening to closing. As evidence by their commitment to send you another part ASAP, I think it's fair to say they did everything they could to rectify the problem. $hit happens. The only question is how a vendor responds. I don't think they could have reacted any better.

I had to bend **** under the car to get it to fix. Is that peice of metal under the car in the way? Just bend it with a plyers or something and it will fit.

there is no way its going to install..its way to small ...i can actually put the 02 sensor inside the fix and there is no way in God's name that there going to screw together..they both miss each other by a good 3\4 inch

The problem with the mechanical cel fix is it will push the o2 sensor out towards the floor board, depending on the design of the exhaust. For example, the 02 bung on my HKS hiper exhaust is perpendicular to the mid pipe which caused my 02 sensor to rest on the car when used with a cel fix. What I did was make a little dent on the floor board just enough to clear the sensor. Hope that helped….please give me a call if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Tom

ummm my doesnt do that problem tom...the wiring that is connected to the o2 sensor is long and 2 plastic wiring ties that are on the body of the car hold it up..i just loosen them up and i have plenty of room to move it around...just the o2 sensor tip is 2 long for the cel fix thign....i dont think it pushes in or anything..the o2 sensor itself
