Default ********Header Install Question*********

I bought kooks 17/8 long tube headers with a catless x pipe. I am going to be using a Diablo Predator (U7194) for the tuning, my question is do you even need to install the rear o2 sensors being they are tuned out anyways?

If you turn them off then you don`t need them, however you will need to plug the bung holes w/ a pipe plug..

It is your choice to install or not install as long as you do not have to pass a visual emissions test.
I believe the O2 sensor bungs are 18MM.

I have the 1 7/8 as well. AND I have the predator tune. I installed the sensors with the extensions, but the tune turns them off.

Main reason was for looks. (smog, even though no check needed here for 5 more years)

The extensions came wth the setup, so I installed rather than getting bung plugs. Not a big deal.
