Need some help, people. installing an OBX header and I have the old exhaust all disconnected, but am having a hard time getting the blasted thing out of the engine bay. Perhaps someone who has done this mod can tell me the secret.
Do I have to undo the rmm and the pmm ? Use a big pry bar ? Please help before I go berserk.

Found Boltjacksons "how to ". On his build thread, lots of good info! Anybody else?

Throw a link up for the "how to" so if someone searches this thread they can be forwarded to the right area.

Good Idea! http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=357105&page=4

I did a few things different, so I didn't have to drop the sub-frame.

1. Removed #1 (center) manifold head stud
2. Removed bottom PMM motor mount bolts.
3. Pried engine forward as far as I could.
4. Out she popped!

Hi!
What parts did you use to connect the front and rear o2 sensor?
Did you get a check engine light?

The stock downstream (rear) O2 sensor fits no problem. The stock upstream sensor is to short (the sensor bung is in the collector after the runners) I have ordered from eBay a Bosch sensor ,part # BS 17276, fits a 2007 Porsche boxter. (eBay #131190489656 )
The upstream sensor bung is on the top of the collector pipe so I ordered an angle adapter to make sure I have clearance. I'm running now with the upstream sensor disconnected and yes, the CEL lite is on.
