Changing O2 Sensors
Are torque values the same when using this offset socket? When I set my torque wrench to 30ft pounds do I get more than 30 due to the extra leverage of the offset socket?

With the little distance there between the center of the socket and the center of the drive end not much...if you tighten it at 90 degrees no adjustment needed !!...I wouldn’t worry about an extra 1-2 foot pounds !!

In Calif and similar states that use the same smog rules There are NO LT hearers that are smog legal-- You can argue about what is legal in AZ but no LT headrs have a CARB approved plate weled into them as none of them are smog legal
Apparenly in AZ there are no smog laws as strict as in Calif So God bless you you live in AZ But I am 100% sure if you registered your car in Calif it would fail the smog test strictly on the visual inspection on having LT headers ASK any tuner or anyione from Calif and they will confirm what I say----LT's are illegal in Cialf period

Changed the O2 sensors and then took a drive to the tuner's shop. Checked over the tune, made a few minor changes and car seems to be running better. Gas mileage is getting better and smell is better too. I used the Bosch sensors as I mentioned.
