Best Place For Bosal Exhaust Parts

Where is the best place to buy Bosal stuff including shipping?

Going by the diagram on Bosal`s website they say I need the 286-159 central silencer and the 145-703 rear silencer.

I`m a little confused, every site I go to looking for these two parts for my car describes that the central silencer/resonator has an O2 sensor. There is no 02 sensor anywhere on the pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler.

The car is a 99 SE built in 9/08 with Cali. emissions (according to the hood sticker and four plugs at the front of the engine)

The 99's are a little different the O2 sensor is located in a 2''-3'' section of pipe between the cat and the mid-pipe with a lot of rust it may look like O2 sensor is in the cat but that part is removable. Any replacement exhaust is going to replace that small pipe with the O2 sensor in it. It can be a pain in the a to get off just to warn you.

I bought my bosal exhaust rear section on ebay I had no problems can't remember what seller it was though.

I assume you mean 09/98?

They're likely referring to the S-pipe after the converter on the Fed spec '99s. They may have integrated it into the B-pipe, who knows.

FWIW the S-pipe isn't there on the Cali spec '99s. There is no post-converter O2 sensor on those cars.

I agree with this. The mid pipe is one piece from cat to muffler with no 02 sensor.

They are located in Madison WI, you get the parts fast if you live in the Midwest.
