New O2's Worth It? Well a couple weeks ago I had to drive to the exhaust shop with open headers to get the custom y-pipe made and on the way I noticed that the car began to run worse and worse as I drove to the shop. Now I notice a loss of power and very poor fuel economy. Do you think it's worth it to buy new O2 sensors just incase?

O2's are definitely worth it..
I was having an issue with my car missing for the past couple days... Absolutely no power down low, and then it was like a sprayed nitrous or something. It was would just take off..
Installed new TR55's and inspected the plugs.. Problem remained.
My a/f guage also had stopped functioning properly during this time also.
I finally bit the bullet and bought Bosch O2 sensors ($145 for 2)
THE BEAST IS NOW ALIVE AND KICKING...

probbly couldnt hurt if thats the case
i had huge drivabilty problems liek stated above, itd buck, stumble, bog while at a consisten cruise, ltrims were all over the place, jump on it and it went but no engine light either. installed new o2's, checked tune, made another efilive run everything perfect and has been since. seems headers really shorten the life of 02's
