I dont think it would make that big of a difference if you mounted the o2 senors a little farther down the pipe someone correct me if im worng but you will have to have both of them for the cpu to read the senors right

welcome to MM

you need to install both sensors.you could also mount them a little further
downstream also keep them somewhat near the same clocking as the stock

I don't know exactly what you mean by having trouble with the dip stick not fitting but you can bend the shaft a little to make it fit if thats what you need to do. The muffler being on backwards??????? are you sure it's on backwards

im very sure its on backwards one is entering in the center the other is entering in the offset i looked at them they are both the same part number. will this make it run bad also or will it just blow the baffle out? ive never came acrossed this prob. thanks

dont hold me to this but i think having the muffler backwards can make it run a little weird, but not too much. i dont know what that will do to your back pressure but you might want to fix that.
