Berk HFC's and one F*&^ed O2 sensor
 

So I got my HFC put on today and ya the 2 top bolts are a pain in the a$$. The big problem arrived when we tried to remove the driver side O2 sensor. I f'ed the threads. I was Sh&^^ing briks because my wife would kill me if she found out that I had to spend $900 on a new one. So my installer filled the hole with a O2 sensor from a hyundai and off to the dealer i went. I went to Erickson infiniti in Edmonton where I bought the car. I figured it was worth a shot to try for warranty. On the drive there (30 mins hwy) I was enjoying the sound and the extra power noticed in the butt dyno. Talked to the service manager showed him the cat and the O2 sensor. With out even thinking about it he said "No proplem we'll get you a new one" I was like woooo freeken hooooo. He said some dealers would say no but it was obvious to him it was installed incorrectly and should be warrantied. I love my dealer. Only issue now is the sensor is in Monteral and I am in Edmonton. So friday it will be in. My exhaust shop in Leduc (TIRELAND) did an excelent job installing these and did everything they could to save the sensor.

Hats off to both the dealer and my muffler shop for a great job and excelent customer service.:bowdown:

Wow, that's good to hear. Now make some videos of it!

No vids coming guys I got nothing to make it with don;t owen a video camera. maybe someone at the meet willl have one this weekend and 'll post up.

def lucky man.
How much is the new sensor if you brake it?

If I can't make it to the meet this weekend I might have to hook up with you so I can hear them in person. The rest of ur exhaust is stock correct? How much louder do you think it is? Where abouts in the city are you, I'm in the north end, my licence plate is FRCEFED.

Cheers and see you around.

any tips on how to get those two hard bolts off? i tried getting to them from under the hood but no luck

Soak with PB Blaster overnight. Then heat with a torch. Then use an air wrench. If that doesn't work, burn them off with the torch. Be sure to use a good high temp anti seize compound on those and on your O2 sensor when replacing.

actually, i just have a hard time getting access to those bolts

1 Sensor runs $390 if it is the one in the exhaust manifold :icon27:

are u talking about the O2 sensor? i called the dealer they said $148 each..$390 for an O2 sensor is ridiculous
