Need help with exhuast and headers

[AmableJay]

I"m about to get the stock exhuast for my 1993 cb, I was wondering is this something I can do myself, or need pro help? I"m getting the complete piping from the header back, plus i'm installing an after market header. is this difficult?

I think the hardest thing was was getting the o2 sensor off of the old manifold and putting it on my Megan racing header but PB blaster and even more elbow grease will get it loose.

but for me the old exhaust was rusty as **** and the pipe right before the cat was broken. all i had to do was drop the old stuff by the rubber hangers.

when you install that new header, make sure to replace that head to header gasket with a new metal one otherwise it'll leak right there. also when you go to torque the nuts onto the head, make sure to start in the middle and work your way outward.

you going to reuse your factory cat or have you bought a new one also?
if you haven't already, grab yourself a haynes manual and don't work on your car without it.

the hardest part for me was the o2 sensor other than that pretty easy thing to do

Have another person to help you hold the primary when you bolt on the downpipe.

Hangers can be a pain, but spray WD-40 on the holes. Using a jack to raise the exhaust helps to decrease muscle strain as well. Other than that, it's disassemble/assemble.

To get the o2 sensor out, take the car to a nearby oil changing shop, and they can get all the leverage they need to untighten it. (if yours is near the flexpipe under the car) Place around me didn't charge. Just tell them to loosen it, but keep it in to where when you get home, you can do it yourself.
