I finally got my o2 sensor thing sorted out. I went to a junkyard and the assholes turned me around 3 times, trying to get the studs on the stock manifold. Story goes like this:
Wednesday
-showed up at the junkyard and was told their list of 20 was full
Friday
-showed up at 11am and they said they were full again. "Come later"
Monday
-Showed up 8am
-Claimed they didnt have a Camry (one parked by the entrance). Then told me that they CAN take it off. Then he said come back in a week!!
Well, I spent a week running around trying to get those stupid studs and realized that I could've just went to Autozone and bought 12mm bolts. Rippmods owners know that you have to extend the wiring, so I did it by myself. So I got this done over a month span
Anyhow, I have a few videos of it. I have n1 Apexi mufflers w/ 2.25" piping. I also had to change out the magnaflow muffler I had on their which didnt have ahole for the O2 sensor to go in. So that's 2.50"...
how about record something from outside the car :P (put hte camerea on the road jump in and drive off, u turn come and stop the recording - thats what i do

Sorry guys, I'll try get some pics and some more shit, which I had planned.
That is on Highway 29 in Pensacola somewhere between W Street (Rave movie theater) and Airport Blvd.
On the 2nd picture, you can (probably) see the bolt with the 2 extra nuts holding in the o2 sensor. The bolt doesn't screw down all the way and let almost an inch of room so I had to put on nuts that way the sensor holds in. It's tacky as shit, but it worked
And of course I'm still working on the sides that's why my car looks like shit right now...

here's a tip, richie: use the bolts from your heatshield for your o2 sensor. you can reuse the factory o2 sensor if you heatshrink/solder in a wire extension for the o2 sensor relocation.
another tip is this: bend back your tranny radiator lines, otherwise you may run the risk of the o2 sensor melting one. I had my rippmods header on for quite a while and then one day it randomly decided the o2 sensor was going to melt a hole through the tranny cooler return line. the hardline's easy to bend back, you can do it with your bare hands in 5 seconds.
CrawlingEye, I did have to splice wires on the factory ones to get them to reach and unknowingly, I threw out my manifold and didnt take anything off from it. That really hurt me and got me stuck in a runaround. The coolant line is the grey one isnt it??
