Anyone know if the replacement exhaust kits that Rock Auto sells (made by Walker I think) have the fittings installed for the sensors to screw into?

My muffler is shot so I figure I might as well replace the entire system.

Open to other suggestions as well. It's a 2002 Desert Runner VG33 Auto. It does need to remain emissions-compliant.

Thanks for any input.

Is there any hope of getting those sensors out or should I just get new ones?

How hard is it going to be to get the pipes off the stock manifolds? I envision broken studs. Or should I bite the bullet and get the Doug Thorley headers? And, then I'm still faced with unbolting the old factory manifolds from an engine with almost zero clearance on each side.

I wonder if I'd be better off going to a Monro or similar and having them cut off the pipes just below the 2nd set of cats and fabricating a dual exhaust.
