Default stock 02 sensors in new y pipe?

I am about to install my mac headers and a y pipe, can I use my stock rear 02 sensors on my new y pipe?

All four oxygen sensors are the same. If you are running an off-road y-pipe, you will only be using two of the four. When you remove them, make sure you dont drop them, touch the tips, and what not. They are pretty sensitive and can get damaged easily. And they are mighty expensive to replace.

My stock 02s lasted longer than I had expected. All together 39K with ORY for half of that. Just put rear vette 02 and this has been the longest time I have not seen my Service light.Yes they will probably work for a while.

Default o2 simms

you might think about getting some o2 simms also the comp might think that the heat in the high flow cats isnt registering therefore u might throw a code and the SES light might come on
