Is the exhaust ground necessary?
Is it important to ground the O2 sensor, or are there redundant grounds that make grounding the exhaust unimportant?
Thanks,
Matt

hmmm...
The exhaust is bolted to the engine, the engine is connected to the frame...therefore grounded...
The extra ground is just for an extra ground, its easier if electricity has an option of where to ground itself...less bad things can happen.
Its not that much of a pain to keep the exhaust ground anyway.

I would bet that any exhaust that has been on car for more than 2 years would have only have half the ground potential at the muffler if the engine was the only ground.
