unbolt (2 on each end) becareful and dont drop it.
then unscrew the sensor! YAY! Your need new gaskets.

Yeah, you'll need to keep the sensor. If you're buying a de-cat pipe, you can get them with the thread for the sensor, or if you're breaking up the original, just put it back in when you've finished smashing!

I unplugged my lambda sensor from under the battery tray and cut any cable ties before I took the cat off. Just because it was pretty hard to remove the sensor from under the car.
