Welded to the catless connection pipe correct?
Front drivers side. Put it in behind your o2 sensor. Mine is in the collector of the header.

Id put it slightly behind the o2 sensor. That's where my tuner welds the bungs. No you cannot use your existing sensor.

If you have catless connections then you can weld into the connection. Just has to be pre-cat, which doesn't matter in your case.

My tail lights are sprayed but the guy that does them here said i'll be without the lights for 24hrs so they can dry. Not sure I want to be without my car that long.

Did you take the lights out to install the film or just push it under the body edges?

24hrs?! No way. I had mine out, sanded, sprayed (3coats) and re installed in an afternoon.

Me too on my tail light bezels.

Axis you just keep it soaking wet and the film floats until you get it where you're happy. Then push the bubbles out. Use a hair dryer on the tail light film. It'll take the right shape really easy with some heat.

You just heat it lightly as you push the bubbles out and it molds to the curves. I pulled mine off and redid them a couple times before i set them in place to stay. Very forgiving.

I got my 10w30 vr1 from o'reillys finally. Anyone want to wager a prediction on whether or not this will affect my squeak? I'm eager to try it out. My only other idea is the throttle body.

I take it you did it yourself? How hard are the reverse lights to get out. The sides don't look bad.

Nope. I couldn't afford it! It won't be long and this kid to college shock should subside. This month it's $800 in sales tax to register her more reliable college car.
