Intial LT header install startup/short drive ?

Should I leave my o2's out? If so how long? They are coated LTs of course.

You need the front o2s in the headers. They control partial throttle A/F.

Post cat ones can be left out, and are for emissions monitoring.

I see what you're getting at...use OLD O2's until the initial coating, etc burns off because this tends to destroy O2's. Once they get a heat cycle in them, pop on NEW O2's and you're good to go.

You can. The car will just run in open loop until you put the O2 sensors back in.
