[V8] O2 Sensor Removal

[Stafford, Kenneth A.]

Thanks for all the suggestions on the O2 sensor!  Armed with a 4ft breaker
bar, it started to loosen at probably 1 ftlb before snapping my new 22mm
socket.  Surprisingly, I was able to remove it without significant thread
damage on the nipple.  Spliced in the new 3-wire...car runs great...MUCH less
surginess.  Now the bad news...the center muffler is REALLY gone.
1800VWPARTS has an intact, used OEM center section for $180 ("good for 2
years...")...anybody got any other suggestions??  (looking for near original
sounds)
