How would the cat pipe/midpipe get in the way of the oil pan? That's impossible.

So use the old O2, extend that one, or get a new one (pretty expensive for the primary wideband O2). That is odd that it came with the O2 sensor, but then again this midpipe is pretty rare due to it's price.

What brand is the old pipe?

no my old o2 was bad , so was the catalytic converter , so we bought both seperately , this is a brand new o2 sensor cause the old one is toast. and the catalytic didnt cost that much. and what do u mean extend it? it doesnt reach and i dont wanna break it or make it pull farther than its supposed to
