His issue was not putting the gasket on. Looks like yours is on, but did you check?

Yup, I'm sure the Gasket (round donut) is on

I haven't been anywhere near the muffler yet

They have no fitment issues.

I would love to but (I'm impatient and I have a show this weekend)

I can't do that with the factory bolt because of the way its flanged

Wish I had known this before I bought it

I had that problem, but for me it was due to forgetting to put that little gasket between the header and the midpipe.

As above, I am 100% certain that the donut is installed.

I guess the pictures don't do it justice, the O2 sensor is almost rubbing on the flange as is / I'd have to cut almost all the thread off the bolt

Another option would be to weld a new bung in a better location for the O2 sensor and plug the existing hole.

I am actually a big fan of the Weapon-R (I has one) and would recommend it. There is also a huge price premium between the two... and I haven't heard of any issues with them.

I've thought of putting the factory one back one, but I've been chomping at the bit to have a header

I paid $250 ish and I find the Weapon R for about $230 ish / not sure why I went DC sports in the first place?

I am totally considering that!, only problem is it would most likely read off just one cylinder (although I think I've read about others that had a similar setup and didn't experience any drawbacks)
