exhaust questions

[WazR32GTSt]

i am changing my dump/front and i have a couple of questions...

1) can the O2 sensor be cheaned? does it need to be cleaned? it will be out anyway so yeah

2) heat wrap - any good? price? worth it, or put the money into a bleed valve?

3) any things to look out for when removing the old dump/front? ie be careful when removing this bolt etc..

thanks team,

Waz.

It's a pretty easy job.

Watch out when you are removing the bolts on the back of the turbo. They may want to shear. Hit them with some penetrating oil first and you should be OK. Same goes for the screws on the heat shield.

The connector on the O2 sensor may be a bit brittle so just take your time removing it from the clip.

The mount that goes over the end of thefront pipe that bolts up to the front of the cat converter may not fit back on. You may need to grind it out.

I don't think there's much more to it, just use new gaskets and take your time you'll do fine.

I didn't try to clean the O2 sensor, don't know if it'll help and heat wrap is a bit of a waste of time if you're using the factory heat shields, go the bleed valve
