What's so hard about replacing the sensor?

It screws into your exhaust...

One end goes through a grommet in the underbody that ends up directly underneath your passenger seat.

There's a plug there, plug it in. Hope it helps?

Pull the Boot down and The Plug will Come with it, Then tie a String to it so it doesn't go back up.

Everything is done under the car, the plug is in the rubber grommet that the o2 sensor wire plugs into. This is on the the easiest O2 sensors to replace. I remember doing one on my VW jetta and the evo is a cakewalk compared to that.

As a GReddy Ti owner, can you tell me how the hell the welds blew on your exhaust? Thanks!

no idea, i was just driving and i started hearing popping noises and i pulled over and it was dragging on the road. when we put the exhaust on the the welds didnt look too strong to begin with tho. i havent heard it happening with anyone else, and it was only about a couple weeks worth of driving after i put it on. but greddy replaced it already so its all good

Thanks for the info. Did GReddy say if this has happened before on any other exhausts?

nope they never said anything about it before and ive never heard of it before on my own. when we were putting the exhaust on the the weld looked really weak, and didnt even know if it would hold. so i guess we were right haha
