no, no performance loss, it's the same thing. I bought a $14 O2 removal bracket https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-47749-8-Inch-Offset-Oxygen/dp/B00GMN4D1Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1501031562&sr=8-4&keywords=o2+sensor+socket

Mine was the upstream heated O2, bank 1. there are 4 sensors. 2 for each exhaust. one is upstream, one is downstream of the cat. I have a friend with a car lift so we just lifted it and went to work. Took an hour. Including rotating tires while it was up on the lift.

I can tell :P

>Is this a DIY that someone not super knowledgeable on cars could do?

Mmm, probably. Trickiest bit is getting a tool that will get onto the sensor. If you're comfortable working lying down on the floor, you can probably do this without a lift or jackstands, but you'll need to take down the cover along the bottom of the car. It's held up by 3 12mm bolts and a ton of little plastic clips. Once that cover is off, it's just a matter of unclipping the sensor wiring and then unbolting the sensor. If you are standing at the front of the car looking down into the engine bay, you can see the top of the sensor if you look straight down the front of the engine, kind of in the middle or slightly to the passenger side of middle. If I remember right it's got a green wrap around the wire. I use one of these sockets and a flexible-head 3/8" ratchet to get them on and off, so you'll need to find something similar. Just remember your lefty-loosey and if it really doesn't want to come loose, don't force it as you don't want to rip the threads out of the cat pipe.

I just did the rear sensor on my 01 last weekend.

  • I did the plug and play OEM-style one out of laziness. Zero problems with that, everything fit, getting under the carpet was easy after taking out the driver's seat + center console

  • I used an O^2 sensor socket like this and it did its job fine

  • I didn't have room to get a 1/2" drive socket in there, but used a 3/8" with an a random metal pipe as an ad hoc breaker bar and it came out NBD.

    The bad...

  • The OEM-style cable has a pair of metal plates attached to some standoffs on the exhaust to keep it off of the exhaust and driveshaft... mine were rusted to shit on a California car. 10mm and 3/8" sockets spun with no effect (kinda visible on the first photo); 9mm sockets couldn't fit. I ended up breaking the rusty metal tab off and working out some BS with metal wire to hold the cable in place.

    I'd take a look at it before taking out the driver's seat and jacking the car up, possibly hit it with PB blaster beforehand and/or have an alternate plan :D
