Very glad to hear you are happy with the new system Doug!!! ![Big OK](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/bigok.gif)
^Ah yes.. good thing... I was 99.9% sure that yours were flattened or fully "pancaked"...
But anyone who has NOT disturbed there OEM gaskets prior, should have no problem re-using them for the new exhaust install...
However, for those of you that want that extra piece of mind, new gaskets are like $7 or $8 each at Toyota... and few bucks more at Lexus..
You will need two..

Also, we used a Lexus / Toyota O2 Sensor removal tool. Which went very smoothly... and looked exaclty like the one pICtured below...![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE OEM EXHAUST FULLY COOLED DOWN BEFORE STARTING THE REMOVAL OF THE O2 SENSORS
-THIS WILL HELP PREVENT STRIPING OF THE SENSOR THREADS![Over Here](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/overhere.gif)

We used what fit correctly and what is used by Lexus & Toyota Techs..
A "regular wrench" will not work.... also, a "regular deep O2 socket" will not work properly either, not enough horizontal space..
We also need you to take some nice video's for us when your done with the install.....![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
PM, if you need any help with anything..

Thanks for the kind words again gang!!! I will let the shop know for sure...
![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
^^ Not necessarily the same exact (SST) tool... But there are a few different brands out there with a similar design... (as shown in post# 21)
This is not your typical DIY install.. but if your handy with a couple of wrenches and 4 jack stands, then you should be good....
If NOT, I STRONGLY recommend an experienced Technician at a 3rd party shop to do the install..
Having the car on a lift, high in the air, makes a world of a difference..
