me likey.

 

I have yet to find anything that is reversed threads on the Lancer. Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey

 

It's a regular thread not reverse. Unclip the O2 and remove it from the cat outside of the car, it's alot easier. to reclip it send the clip inside the car and pull up the carpet on the passenger side right next to the center console. thats the way I did it, just be sure to reseat the rubber seal or you'll have a wet carpet and a rust hole a year latter. Oh, I hope you want to make noise, because you'll here alot inside of the car.

 

yeah, it sounds a little bit whinier....not sure if it really does or if i was expecting it to, so i think it does.

the reverse remount strategy worked like a charm. put the vice grips on the o2 sensor and just laid under the car tapping it with a ratchet. eventually it moved and i couldn't believe my eyes.

now for a real exhaust.......

 

remember. righty tighty, lefty loosey. or clockwise=tightens, counter=loosens

 

hey, forgot to mention this......

THANKS GUYS!!!!
