so this is a pretty straight forward install? please someone correct me if i am wrong
1. remove engine cover
2. remove strut bar
3. remove both heat shields (firewall and downpipe)
4. jack up car
5. remove stock cat and stock DP
6. remove o2 housing with heat shields
is that pretty much how the install goes?

of course...totally understand....i just wanted to make sure there was no other steps involved than what I posted above
I will be taking it to my mechanic and we'll see how it goes....he has a lift and 20k worth of snap on tools....hopefully we can knock this out pretty quick

I really struggled with the bolts on the O2 housing because of the heat shield on it; I ended up taking all of the shielding off before the O2 housing. Try as I may, I just couldn't figure out how to wrench the housing's bolts off the turbo while they were on. Little by little, they all came off though. Putting one of the lower shields back on was a blind luck sort of thing since the holes for the bracketing can't be seen from above in the engine compartment. I had a friend for some of that kind of jazz I called on to lend a hand.
