yeah get a test pipe with a bung already welded on to it so you don't have to worry about the o2 censor

yeah thats what I have, you don't need to spend allot of money on a test pipe, they all do the same thing.

you will need an adjustable wrench to get the sensor off the cat and to put it on the test pipe.

I don't know if test pipes are interchangable with the 9, I would assume that they are.

and you should try not to double post use the edit button.

It will fit fine. I have the 2.5" since I still have my stock downpipe and stock catback and it doesn't leak.

I don't know the size of your catback, but if its 3", then get a 3" test pipe and then get a 3" downpipe. I don't know how it will sound though, but I will say that my exhaust still sounds like stock. Can't tell I have a test pipe unless you look under the car or stand behind my car and smell the fumes.
