Well crap. The cat from the same company you used has the O2 sensor mounting in the wrong place so that the sensor hits the underside of the body. I've just sent an email to them describing the problem and asking for an overnight delivery of a replacement. We'll see if they come through or not.
Top side facing camera, forward end to the left. Note the misplacement of the fitting for the O2 sensor.

That really sucks! I noticed your cat is bigger then the one I had, it still wasn't as big with the heat shield. I can see how you had trouble with it. Hopefully they will send you a new one. Did you look into an o2 sensor adapter? They come in 90° angles.

The old one was definitely shot. It rattles around in there.
Thanks!
(BTW, sorry for hijacking your thread. I'll move any more comments to PMs.)

I tried to send it via PM but I cannot add the picture like I can in here. This is the "adapter" I was talking about. This one is on Amazon.ca, but I'm sure it'll be on the Amazon.com as well. Hope it gets worked out. Are you able to throw the old one back in for the weekend?

So I will thank chevy riders again for the idea. I haven't seen it before I seen him do it.
came back from a weekend away, and decided to start some of the body work/painting. I'm hoping to get the lower half done next weekend. But as I notice, 2 months ago I said I was gonna have time in 2 weeks... been 4 times that and I'm still looking for time lol.
but here it is. The back window pieces painted body color.
next body work is bottom half gloss black, and remaining chrome, (front between the head lights and on the black pieces at the bottom of the door) will also be white.

[QUOTE=DonL;692410]Rattle, loss of heat shield bugged me, it was starting to clog up and I was losing power, mileage wasn't the best, plus age. I think that's what made me think about replacing. I got mine off a site called ultraexhaust.com.
I don't suggest this site. The price isn't bad, but the quality is a gamble. And the costumer service sucks.

So it' been rough. But so far I got the lift kit in, other then the torsion keys. Tomorrow I will put in the stearing stabilizer, and the new coupling disk, and bleed the read brakes.
