You will need the short oxygen sensor socket shown in several of the threads discussing the JOE Z exhaust system.

It is a complete bolt in system and the fit up was excellent. You will need to use a lubricant, such as WD40 to lubricate the rubber hangers when removing the old exhaust sytem. It is, more or less, a brute force removal. You will need either large screw drivers or a pry bar to pry the rubber hangers off the conical end caps on the OEM hangers.

Pat, I don't know if it'll mean much in the long run but it was recommended to apply a non-petroleum based lubricant to the rubber hangers so as not to damage them.

Go to thread: JoeZ Exhaust + Intake Dyno = +26 RWHP +19 RWTQ SAE

Post #98. There is a picture of the O2 sensor removal tool. Within the thread there are several model numbers anywhere from the Lexus socket (about $45) to much cheaper versions.
