In the spirit of saving as much money as pissible, I finally got around to gutting my downpipes and replacing two 02 sensors that have been throwing codes for months now. Downpipes without pre-cats are anywhere from $250-$1000. F that, just butcher your stock dp’s! This was a pretty big pain in the ass to do as there is almost no room to work with in the engine bay and even less around the downpipe flanges. Each flange bolt was a puzzle as to how to get a wrench on it and apply enough torque to break the nuts free. Most of them also required another 100 fifteen degree turns with a box wrench to get them out too because there is absolutely no room to move in there.

Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures of gutting them, but I pretty much had to go rambo with a drill, cold chisel and a hammer.
