Default Header install question?

Header install question.
Their is a electrical line going into the heads (Oem) from above the power packs. See picture below. First time I have seen this. I am just used to seeing the 0/2's. Under the blue in picture.
Am I going to have to make sure the headers come ready to receive these or is this a welding job?
PS; what are they?
Thanks in advance for any advise.

That is the upstream o2 sensor, your new headers should come with o2 sensor extension harnesses as the upstream sensors are moved a lot further downstream with headers. If not you will need to buy some.

If you are installing them make sure u purchase an O2 sensors socket , spray some rust buster and they will turn out easy ....
