Default Installing Melrose headers

Hey guys, I'm working on getting everything needed to install the headers. I ordered new gaskets and bolts, the only thing I need to order is now is the O2 extenders or adapters. I know some people tie up the front O2 sensors and use the rear, but I was interested in knowing if anyone has a set of Melrose installed and what they did. Also where's the best place to order the O2 extenders/adapters from Racetronix? Thanks!

Your backwards,

The front O2's stay in play with the front O2 cables ,and the rear O2's are dialed out instead in the tune (rear O2's not installed).

As for extenders, may have enough cable as is to install the front O2's with the front cables without the need of extender cables.

I have a set of Melrose headers on my '06. I reused the stock gaskets and used the extensions and header bolts that came with the headers. I'm running all four O2 sensors because I have to pass Ga emissions. My car never threw a CEL even before I had it tuned. You're gonna love the sound.
