    I got my long tubes today from urd. I was wondering if anyone has installed these themselves and how hard or easy were they too install. I would like too save some money and install them myself.

    They do on the 2.7L but on the 4.0 I think it is a little more complicated and welding required

    I stand corrected! Do you have to weld the 02 sim on?

    I think the o2 sim is just soldering some wires.

    $350

    The O2 sim is wired into the ECU, not a part of the O2 sensor itself.

    If you look in your engine bay and look at your stock headers the O2 sensor is the sorta spark plug looking thing that is coming out of them.

    And it really is a simple job to install yourself. Have a little patience though. I did it myself at night time with just a little shop light. And cranked up open headers around 6 in the morning. :D

    As long as your O2 sensors aren't stripped like mine were and you have to tap new threads.
