Default Header question

I recently bought some headers with catted x-pipe (melrose) and it came with 2 o2 sensor extensions. one has the trapazoid ends and the other has the square ends, they are both approx 24" long. I am putting this system on my 05. My question is are those 2 o2 extensions going to be it or do I need 2 more?

Thanks in advance!!

I am not familiar with the Melrose system, I had 4 02 extensions for my ARH catted setup.

Ok got the headers and pipes in a couple nights ago. I have driven the car for a day, and I can feel more power. At first I didn't care for the exhaust sound. It is alittle highpitched, like an indy car. It has since grown on me. The brand I used was melrose. The headers themselves went in easy, without cutting or moving the engine. These seam to be a quality product. I will say that I bought these used for penny on the doller, because they came off of a wrecked vette, so they were alittle bent and dented up. I had to fight the x-pipe to get it on, but for the money I saved, I really can't complain. I would run this product again.

They usually have 4 sensors. If you dont have the rear sensors you may have to weld a WB BUNG.
