Good to know ill keep an eye on it. They only sent one O2 sensor extension for four O2 sensor locations so hopefully that's enough... like their hardware kit im hoping its just not another "oh you'll have to use whatever you've already got"

Done... passenger side was a beating. Have the E8 torx ratcheting box wrench, flex head 13 and 15mm ratcheting wrenches, and your work will be shortened considerably. Then the driver side is a complete cake walk except for a couple nuts you have to really work to get on. I didn't even have to pull any studs on the driver side.
I pulled the bottom front stud and the next two working backwards from the front on the passenger side and used the torx ratcheting box wrench to reinstall them. The rest was just time consuming.
I did OPG/CS, headers, and now on to the Whipple in 1 shot. Overall not work for the faint of heart but completely doable. Give yourself time to walk away from it and youre golden. Try to rush it and you'll be chasing threads and looking for where you lost your sanity.
Good luck!

I definitely will, I just have to get the intake and pulleys and pretty much everything bolted back up to the engine before i can so im just going to bolt a whipple on and do it once rather than twice.
If there's no leaks ill feel like playing the lottery. Im not worried there will be any leaks on the motor side but the header to mid pipes and possibly to the stock cat back sleeves ill have to look closer at.
Instructions say to recheck all bolts after several heat cycles lol... yeah. Not looking forward to that since its nigh impossible now to get at motor mount nuts, etc with such tight clearances and pipes everywhere. My luck it'll loosen a header nut lol.
At least i used all studs so hopefully it wont be an issue.
