Not entirely sure as I did not do the work myself… are you DIYing this or did a shop handle the install?

Usually there is some exhaust glue/cement that they use so that there are no leaks...just an FYI

Hi,
I'm about to order a set of the VRSF Test Pipes and I've been reading through your extensive report.
I've just noticed the rear O2 Sensor has some form of right angled attachment.
Is this required to clear the body work?
Is it supplied with the kit?
Or am I reading too much into it?

I'm not OP but the 90 degree attachment allows the car to run without a check engine light on its original tune which will increase the chance you'll pass emissions on the secondary cats alone. I ran this way successfully for about 9 months but for some reason finally started throwing codes during the hot summer months. There's also mini-catalytic converter attachments that occupy the same space and achieve the same thing I assume more effectively. Of course most people buy a tune that shuts off the check engine light but depending on your state you may fail emissions over it
