My boot slitely touches my LPP as well. I used zip ties to pull the wires in the direction they needed. The rear O2 should have nothing to do with your trouble.

I see the tube touching your steering shaft too. I have to run stock header gaskets and install washer between the block and engine mount on the driver side. I bet you have a lot of wine noise, PS pump, with them touching.

yeah all my joints are leaking. right at the point where the band meets. i think some copper rtv should do the trick. i just gotta get under there and do it. plus my hanger for the rear of the exhaust was welded to my dump and that decided to take a ****. it ripped off and took a section of the dump with it. lol. my exhaust needs some work.

Like this. Each section of the y pipe has flanges welded on and they are held together with v bands. You could take the y pipe off and apart in seconds.
