Comments about Walker Front Pipe with Flex:
The exhaust pipe was shorter than the stock pipe. The gap caused blown gaskets that had to be replaced twice. Now the flex part of the pipe broke all in 1 year. I had to have the pipe replaced again to resolve the exhaust leak and noise.

Comments about Walker Front Pipe with Flex:
Good equipment, had to buy a new O2 sensor as well. Made the car as quiet if not more quiet than stock. Happy about that.
Would have been nice to have replacement nuts with the product, exhaust fasteners were nearly welded to the old pipe after twelve Ohio winters.

Q:
does the stock O2 sensor from the old flex pipe will readily fit in this pipe or a new O2 sensor will be needed too?Asked on 4/20/2015 by nores from New Jersey1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Happy to assist you with your question Nores! Yes as long as this front pipe is an exact fit for your vehicle then yes your stock O2 sensor will work when you move it from the old one to the new one. If you look at the image right before the flex part of the pipe there is the O2 Bung that is welded on and that would be where the new O2 sensor goes. When taking out the old O2 sensor be sure to use some WD-40( Part No 450313/450252) or PB Blaster (16-PB) to loosen up the rust and you don't strip the threads on your O2 sensor.Answered on 4/21/2015 by Panda from AAP
