AND made a cleaner hole?
Couple of things,
I have a bid on a new Borla X now. Does the Borla come with the holes for the oxygen sensors?
I really want to do this at home by myself but I get a little claustrophobic under the car, even if it’s on my very sturdy ramps. Any advice on getting it a bit higher? With jacks stands I’m ok with the room, but I then get nervous about them tipping over.
From what I see from pix online, the only difference between the Borla and Corsa is the Borla is not as ‘shiny’(?) as the Corsa and $100 less.
Thanks gang.

The O2 sensors not are located in the X pipe. You cut the stock H pipe downstream of the O2 sensors.
Get a low profile long reach (24") floor jack from Harbor Freight.
Also get 6 ton jack stands. They a much taller than lower capacity jack stands.

If so, I think there would be a turbulence issue. I'm only acquainted with flow terms through a piece of tubing, a real engineer would be better for this.
