Marc,
The TRUE DUAL conversion is quite simple really. The entire procedure takes about 1.5 hours total time. You are going to replace the H-pipe coming off of the rear cylinder with a simple J shaped pipe that feeds onlt the left side exhaust. There is a simple straight pipe that goes in place on the right side.
The complete instructions will be pasted at the end of this post.
The 07 kit does have the o2 sensor bung in it. You don't change anything on the front pipe, so the o2 sensor there stays in it's original position.
If you have any specific questions, please ask.
I installed snother set this weekend, and it's easy enough to do with a good basic set of tools, (wrenches, socket set, nut drivers or screw drivers).

Installation of this product may require remapping or rejetting. Fine-tuning your combination of parts may result in additional performance gains.
Step 1
Remove all heat shields except front cylinder head pipe.
Step 2
Spray all nuts, bolts and slip connections with WD 40. This is mandatory for ease of removal.
Step 3
Remove both slip on mufflers and left side exhaust coming from rear cylinder
Step 4
Remove the hardware connecting the rear cylinder H pipe at the head and the slip connection to the front cylinders head pipe. Do not remove or loosen the front cylinders head pipe! Using a block of wood, or rubber mallet drive the H pipe rearward removing it. Now remove the C clip and flange.
Step 5
Using sand paper or a file, Remove any burs from the end of the front cylinder head pipe. Install the straight pipe seating it fully. Install the right muffler. Invert the right side heat shields, so the cut out from the old Y-pipe is at the bottom, and adjust and clamp the heat shields in place.
Step 6
Time to tune up the stock left side exhaust. Using sand paper or a file as before, debur the inside of the slip connection. Spray the inside with WD40. Using the supplied mandrel and a hammer, drive the mandrel into the slip connection a little at a time while tapping down the high spots on the outside. This will correct any out of roundness ensuring a fully seated leak free connection to your new head pipe.
Step 7
Replace the rear cylinder exhaust gasket with the new one provided .Install the C clip and flange on the head pipe before joining the left side exhaust pipe. Loosely install with muffler using all the stock brackets and clamps. Adjust as needed before final tightening of all hardware. Reinstall the stock left side heat shields.
