Do I need a 02 sensor socket for a exhaust install?
Going to do a complete exhaust install this week and buying the tools I need today. Do I need to have an 02 sensor socket or will a box or open end wrench work just as well? Not thinking of removing them until I have the exhaust system off the bike.
Anything else I might need for tools?

No, you don't need one.
I did my V&H Power Duals without the special socket.
Just like you, I removed the pipes and got them on the garage floor first before removing the O2 sensors.
Be sure and use just a bit of anti seize on the threads when installing into the new pipes.
You just want a small amount on the threads, so don't get too much. Don't get any on the tip.
