Header Install Question
I will be installing my headders next weekend. I have to get the car to the shop to have the intermediate pipes made. Will the car drive with the open headers and no rear o2 sensors connected?

When I installed my headers, I reinstalled the mufflers and x-pipe, then took a measurement of the gap between the two. I can't remember if I added 2 or 3 inches to each end for overlap, but the overall lenght was 26".
Just go to your local muffler shop and have them make two pieces out of 2 1/2" pipe, flared to fit over 3" on one end(or have it made out of 3" if your x-pipe is 3"). They charged me $20.
Get two 2 1/2" and two 3" muffler clamps and your done. This is based on the fact that you are going to be cat free. If you are running cats, adjust accordingly.
