o2 sensors install....easy!!!

yeseterday i finally recieved my o2 sensors from oxygensensor.com....2 of them came out to be $115 or so....org memebers get 10% off......

the install was super easy since i have a wsp ypipe....that made it alot easier to get to the sensors.....the only problem i had was trying to locate exactly where the little plastic snap-in things went into the car.....so i decided just to run the sensors down the engine bay without puttin on the little plastic snaps....is this a bad?

if you have the O2 sensor wire just hanging so close to moving parts, im thinking that it mights catch on to something and damaged the O2 sensor wire or burn through it.

I just replaced the fron O2 sensor on my car this afternoon. If you bought the oem sensors, there should be 4 small little plastic clips that are on the wire. When you pulled the old harness off, there should have been 4 small clips exactly like there is on the new sensor. All you have to do is pry the old ones out with a flat head scredriver and pop the new ones in.
