Why do they put the 02 bung on the outside on one header and the inside of the other?

Looks awesome...If I ever upgrade to stainless I'll be going with these most likely. If you were running 13.2's with your stock manifolds you'll be easily into the 12s....my car felt like a whole new animal when I put the LT's on...even before my tune.

No need to panic guys. There's a reason why we placed the O2's in this manner. It makes routing of the O2 harnesses a snap. As you can see in the photo's and attest from those who currently have our systems, everything about the design is well thought out. LS1Freak thanks for going with ARH and Happy Thanksgiving to all.

A quick question about the bung placement for the O2's. I would think that placing the bung in the primary would skew the o2's and not give a true representation of the a/f ratio compared to putting it in the collector. Every other header out there puts the O2 in the collector. What's the benefit?

I take it back, I can see that it's in the collector, just closer to the merge than most other headers.

Hey LS1 Freak Good news buddy. I installed A.R. system on my car I went from 13.20 @110 to a 12.85 @113 with no other changes on stock 245/50/16 tires . The car is still untuned so there is most likely more to gain. Very high quaility header and very easy to install. A++++++ Product.

Yes, they are stainless. I have AR headers and I can attest that having the 02 bung on the outside of the drivers side header makes routing the 02 wire much easier.

They are stainless steel, perfect welds, just an awesome set, they are little pricey but from my point of view, worth it every penny, call Nick from American Racing for pricing, I dont think I'm allowed to put the price on here,thanks
