Remove the STB. Probalby not more than 2 bolts on each tower and 2 on the firewall. If nothing else remove the bolts on the towers and loosen the ones on the firewall so you can pivot the STB up. No sense fighting around it when it's easily removed.

the sensor is your ACT sensor. Measure the temperature of the air entering the engine. O2 (oxygen) sensors are found in your exhaust, probably 2 pre and 2 post cat sensors. With a screwdriver and 10 seconds of patience, you could unplug that sensor, install it into the pipe out of the car, then install it all together. Just remember to plug the sensor back in afterwards.
-
When you were trying to get those 2 pipes together for the adapter coupler, was the pipe already on the TB? Try it the other way around if so. You should have enough room (even with the STB in place) to the outside of the car so that you can slide the TB pipe into the adapter/coupler, then over onto the TB.

the fenderwell piece... Did you remove the spash guard? I'm betting you didn't, so there's probalby the solution to making that part easier for you. Granted that (I'm assuming it's some sort of rubber grommet type deal holding the pipe into the fender well?) issue with it pushing through would still be there, but you'd have more control to fight it from the back side. Removal of the splash guard is as simple as removing your pass. side tire, and probably no more than a half dozen of each screws and push pins.
You could also probalby try a bit of soapy water when pushing that through as a lubricant.

oh well its in now, and if things dont work out right i'll keep that in mind. I also toyed with the idea of taking the STB off but didnt want to hastle with taking more off. If i ever need to take it off for cleaning or whatnot though ill refer to this thread. -
