The O2 sensor goes behind the cat on the HFC correct? not the other way around?

Thanks guys for all your help I installed it last night and loaded stage 2 maps, really opens here up the way this car should feel, with all of your advice install was Pretty painless, bolts were extremely rusted for a car with 9k miles, but I made it happen, I m going go post up some quality pics when I get chance, total install time start to complete clean up was about 3 hours (note we were on Ramps and jack stands). I'm also glad I got the extreme edition, it sounds like a beast

how did you remove the bolts on the o2 housing to the stock cat? i am having a hell of a hard time. and now one of my bolts from the otherside of the stock cat is not fully tightening. what does this mean? and if so, where can i get a new bolt at?

The downpipe to cat were the bolts I couldn't get off either. Had to get a friend with an impact wrench to zip them out for me.

Go get new bolts regardless, go get stainless steel so they don't rust. Honestly my car had 9600 miles on it and the stock were rusted over,... All I gotta say is PB blaster and a whole lotta ***. It takes time and let the PB soak.I got my bolts nuts washers at home depot

Yea, I sprayed wd-40 on it throughout the week and then 1 hour before the install. Still needed a long wrench for leverage.

Wd-40? Isnt that for lubrication?! It's not breaking through and rust, that's for sure
