what if the heatsheild is already gone would you do it yourself?

in a heartbeat. bottom heatshield only took 15 minutes to get off. it is tricky, but if you read and reread all the how to's and threads on here about it, you will learn how to do it the right way the first time. its really only a 15 minute job. people just get frustrated and discouraged and then it takes forever.

The stock o2 housing of the exhaust is the most restricted place in the exhaust system. Opening it up to 3" is a must for more power.

The O2 housing is a pain to install and only worth a minimal gain. I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Its worth it forsure, while your down there you might as well do it, while your at it hack up the heat shield so its easier to take out with out having to remove the bar and shit, well thats what i did, i just cut the shield into two peices after it was out to make it easier to install and take out, its up to you really.

in a word yes i would get the 3 in O2 housing. anything to help the car breathe better!

on a stock turbo 3in o2 housings are great mods! it reduces back pressure and will give you more power and torque.

as for removing and installing O2 housings they are kinda a pain in the ass. i can do it really easy now. getting around the manifold support bracket is a pain, but i usually get a air hammer with a chisel tip and cut it away. (those who don't want it) mos of the time i will cut some of it away to make installing it much easier.

I always read about how hard it is to take off the heatshields but hen I took mine off it took like 20 mins. It wasn't hard at all. I would get the 3" o2 housing, it'll open things up before the dp and it'll also make ur SEE sound a little more ballsy
