TEST PIPE INSTALL
I just got a Invidia Test Pipe, how easy is the install? Is it just a few bolts to unscrew or is there something else I should know. I don't want to get any CEL lights to come up. I did buy the extra little O2 bung that's supposed to prevent the CEL will that do the job? Please let me know - thanks

thanks guys, one last concern: if I swap back the stock cat when I go to do inspection and then put the test pipe back on right after is there any issues with that?

This is what the bolts look like. I took pics a day after the install.
Header Side:
Exhaust Side:
The three bolts were HORRIBLE to get off. I snapped one off accidentally but I had new ones from the Invidia exhast I installed at the same time. If you do break a bolt and have replacements you can tap out the old one with a hammer.
This is the O2 before the fix. I can't find a pic with the fix. Before installing the O2 I would suggest pre twisting the sensor in the opposite direction to how you are going to screw it in. It will relieve a little stress on the wire.
