Hey All,

I'm trying to replace the O2 sensor in my N-tech downpipe & I'm running into some problems. Namely, how the hell do I get it out!?!?! It's not like on most pipes that I've seen where it can be reached from the top by pulling out the intake & some piping. On the N-tech pipe, it's facing the towards the top of the car, tilted towards the back. Have any of you replaced this sensor with this downpipe? If you have, I would love to hear from you!

This actually ended up being easier, once I had the right plan to attack it. I had planned on following the Robinette how to for this & that just confused things tremendously. Once I picked up a 20" extension for my ratchet & a universal attachment, I was all set.

As it turns out, part of this was done from the top, the rest from the bottom of the car. Removing the old O2 sensor was straight forward. Just unscrew it & lift it out by the wire itself. Getting the new one in however, had to be done from under the car. I used a Bosch universal & couldn't get it to stay in the O2 socket to reinstall it, so I ended up under the car & screwed it in most of the way from down there. It's just tough to get at because it screws in on the 'top' of the downpipe.
