question on dynatech header install o2 sensor
i just finished removing stock system..took me about 3 hours ..including hunting down tools and jacks stands and etc....not bad for a paper pusher by day.....any way ..i noticed the rear o2 sensors swapped sides...the right wire sensor mounted in the left sides x pipe...the left side mounted in the rights side xpipe...do they go back swapped the same as they were when i removed them??? seems weird they would swap sides...any ideas where i put the new one ...keep em swapped like factory or changed them and put left on left and right on right? thanks....and boy the dynatech supermaxx headers sure are purty...cant wait to hear em

correct, rears get swapped just like the oem setup; with the stock manifolds off, run a bolt in all 12 bolt holes to make sure the factory thread sealant is removed
