May I what heat shields did you toss? Only asking as the large passenger side heat shield I have always wondered if I should just remove it as getting the rear bank o2 sensor on especially with an defouler is a real pita as no room and the way I have my lead pipe oriented with the o2 sensor is less than ideal.

Would you use this style over again or a different version?

I would likely use this style again as there is not much room to use a straight defouler with how the o2 bungs are positioned. This is the first time I had to use these and they have worked fine thus far. I wish the tuner's were still able to just turn off the rear o2's like they did when I had my 11' since it would be ideal to not have to use defouler's at all.
