Default LG header install question

Well, I finally decided to get started on my header install tonight so I can finish up tomorrow. When I removed my exhaust pipes from headers to the rear flanges, I noticed that the rear O2 sensors were crossed i.e. passenger side sensor plugged into harness on driver's side and so on. This has never been apart since new. Anybody know if that would have made any difference?

As long as the car is running correctly I don't think it would be a problem. Now on the LG's they must be on the proper side.

The rear sensor harnesses DO cross.

The front sensor harnesses do not....make sure they don't when you get to connecting the front sensors.
Due to the orientation of the sensors on LG headers, many people make this mistake.
Connect the left harness to the left sensor, right harness to right sensor.

Unless, they changed the design, I don't think the LG system uses rear sensors, just the front 2, so it's a non-issue for you anyways.

ok thanks guys...I just thought it was a little odd that the rear O2 sensors on the stock setup crossed sides.
