Default O2 Sensor Questions

I recently removed some off road kooks headers on my base 2008 C6 vette that I had for about 4 years. I reinstalled the stock headers and noticed that I still had the check engine light. After some discussion with some fellow forum members, it seems as though I will need to replace the rear o2 sensors. Does anyone know the best place to get them for a reasonable price? I'd hate to go to the dealer as they are always over priced. Also, has anyone had any experience replacing the o2 sensors without removing the header completely? It seems pretty tight to be able to replace with ease without removing the header.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Gabe

2008 base C6. Just wasn't sure what they normally go for and if aftermarket were worth it.

Yeah, rock auto is pretty awesome option. Just make sure the ones you get have the correct connectors already on them. Sometimes the cheapest option (especially at local parts stores) is a sort of universal O2 sensor that you have to wire up on your own.
