I'm confused as to why you are putting the sims in the front O2 locations. Is there a reason why? Putting O2's in the front two locations will cause problems because the PCM require the 2 front O2's for operation.

In my case there have been no codes, no engine light etc...from having the sims in place (I also have LG headers). Keep them as far as possible from the headers to protect from heat damage. I wrapped mine in thermal reflective tape and positioned them as far from the pipes as sposs. NO CODES, 9 months! Make sure that when you put the O2 sensors back on that you now route the driver side to the driver side pipe and the pass. one to the pass. side!!!!
