Default Lg Tube Header ?

I'm going to install Lg Tube Headers, w/cats and X pipe on my car and was wondering if I should reinstall the rear o2 sensors, or go with the o2 simulators. I've read some threads where guys have had a problem with the computer throwing codes when they reinstalled the rear sensors.

you can always have them tuned out of course if you need to pass emissions that may be a problem....seriously your tuner should be able to take care of that issue

I'd recomend the O2 sims just to be on the safe side of the coin. just a little extra prevention in case your local tuner doesn't disable all the possable trouble codes. I disabled EGR and Oxygen pump codes in my PCM and went with sims for the rear O2's on my camaro. It worked out beautifully

You will have your care tuned after the install I am assuming so have the tuner delete the rears. If he knows what he is doing it is no problem.

I'm running both front and rear O2's on LG's Pro LT Headers w/cats and X pipe and haven't had any problems.

Same setup, with no codes in 9 months.
