Hey guys, I just got the exhaust on but I crushed the O2 sensor wires going to the cat and now the car won't start...the starter turns over fine and everything works, it just won't start...
The sheathing is completely perforated and I can see the copper in two of the wires, but it doesn't look cut through...can I wrap these individually in electrical tape, or do I need to splice out the smashed sections?
Is there a fuse associated with the sensors that I may have shorted?
Please tell me I don't need to replace the sensor!
Any help is appreciated!

NVM...I fixed it. Blew a 20 Amp fuse. I wrapped up all the connections in electrical tape, replaced the fuse, and ZOOOOOMMMM!!! 
I'll probably need to look into a more permanent fix than electrical tape though...not sure how that's going to work out in the rain.

Just go grab some heat shrink from radio shack problem solved.
if u decided to replacement it and dont wanna pay $300-$400 for an oem sensor, i believe pep boys sell the bosch equivlent for $67 or so.
but like chris said, i believe with the latest tephra u could disable it.
