Headers and side pipes

I received the headers and side pipes , oh man do they look great. I just have one question, why is there a hole in the driver side header?, is this for air to escape?

Oxygen sensor for a computer.
IF you have no computer, by a plug and fill the hole.

try this O2 sensor plug if it already has a bun

if you do not have a bun then you need to weld one on like this one:

You can probably get these at a local parts store.

That's odd. Maybe they left it that way so the buyer can tap the threads they need??? In that case, you need a plug and a matching tap/die kit.
Or a welder and some scrap steel.
