    and it was LOUD! i figured my exhaust manifold gasket blew apart or something i got to work and my damn o2 sensor was hanging from the harness. how in the hell does an o2 sensor pop off? it's screwed back in now and my ears are not buzzing anymore. you should have seen the stares i was getting leaving traffic lights :rofl:

    even giving it 1/4 throttle leaving a light it sounded like a harley going fullthrottle. it actually sounded real nice but i felt like a redneck so it had to be fixed.
     
  2. Make sure the wires arent laing across the exhaust.

    The only relevant information here would really be that it probably wasn't screwed in tight unless the threads were stripped. :)

    I think MrCoffee had that happen to him too a while ago....

    Use torque wrenches whenever possible! (Seriously, half of all problems could probably be avoided that way: uppipe leaks, stripped bolts/threads, stuff coming loose...)

    It was just hanging there? :)

    I thought 02's were sometimes kinda hard to get out.
