- Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:30 pm #323888 i tried but when i was walking down stairs with it in my hands to double check fitment with my exhuast the fucking thing fell out from me walking like 50 feet, i cant imagine what would happen on a running car haha, and again i dont want exhaust leaks....no bueno but ill go ahead and loctite them to be sure, i just hope the gases from the exhaust wont heat it up and let it fall out...i could always put a dummy o2 sensor in there i guess...i have two spares but i still have 3 bungs, and the other two are still stuck on my other manifolds...gahhhh decisions decisions lol.

thanks for the quick reply bro :thumb:
