Is it possible for me to change out the driver's side front O2 sensor without unbolting the pipe? I don't have enough tools to unbolt the pipe.

On my 01 Cobra, I recall that I was able to reach the connector, even if it was tight. It's kind of over the tranny or bellhousing, I think. The sensor itself is no problem, unless it is rusted solid.

Yep, you can. I put on my BBK O/R H about a month ago, and was able to take both sensors (front O2's) out without unbolting the H-pipe. Just get an open ended wrench (forgot what size, sorry) on there and be sure to take your time. Also, some good penetrating lube helps a bunch. Good luck

You should get at it easily. I would use an end wrench. Don't round the corners on the nut, because those are a beotch to get out after that.

Does the BBK off road H pipe still allow for use of the O2's or do you have to mod for them?
