Red face New O2 Sensors??

Tomorrow i will be installing my Hooker SS headers. After that I will install my Bassani Tru Dual Exhaust system. I am still debating installing the Bassani myself or have a shop do it for 200 buck (thats what i was quoted anyway). This might be a good idea because the shop is very reputable and i have seem his welding. Looks ****. Anyway my TransAm has 51,000 miles, should i install new O2 sensors also (i am running hi flow cats)??? And would you guys install the Bassani kit yourself (with just the bolt ons it came with)?? Thanks Guys!!

I would install it myself no doubt. I would also get some 13111 o2s cause they hold up better and they are longer. That way you dont have to extend yours on there now.

Bassani makes quality stuff. I'm running one of their catbacks and it fit very nicely. I installed it all by myself in my garage on jack stands without any special tools. I don't think there will be any welding involved with your installation.

You will probably need/want a sawzall or torch to remove the old system. I guess your decision depends on how good of a "shop" you have at home and how much it hurts to part with $200.

For whatever reason, I have had bad luck with o2 sensors switching too slowly and setting off codes. I've been through a few sets of 13111 in the past few years. I'm about to head to the garage and install a new set of AC Delcos.

I would be more inclined to buy some 18" or 24" extensions and reuse the old o2 sensors.
