Headers, Coatings and O2 Codes I'm curious whether any of the header coating options
help hold in heat enough, to eliminate the O2 sensor
thermal problems (heater codes, short functional life,
whacked idle mixture / LTFTs, etc.).
So here is a poll relating header type to O2 sensor
"issues"... let's see what falls out.
If you have been through multiple header systems,
any relative observations would be interesting.

I have coated flowtech headers and coated y-pipe. I think they're just coated on the outside but I can't remember. I think I got every O2 sensor code possible. I got new O2's just to have them die 50 or so miles later. My car then developed a horrible part throttle hesitation that made the car barely drivable. So I kicked my car into open loop mode and richened everything up as a safety precaution since I don't have wideband.....yet. Man it's nice having an almost smooth idle again, and no stinkin hesitation.
