SW are also stainless front to back. As far as I have read, only the Kooks uses the mild steel mid section. I like the Kooks, but the installation is more than I am up for as I have to do this alone so I am looking for a simpler installation.

I would like to preserve the four O2 sensors to keep the car closer to stock and prevent some of the issues that have occurred to a lot of LG owners. Although I must admit I haven't seen any complaints on the LG's throwing codes in several months so maybe they fixed the issue.

The codes were not from having 2 or 4 o2's it was from the o2's not staying hot enough. Thats all squared away, and they work fine.

In front, there were switching issues (o2s getting cold). The rear o2s because they are farther back have a higher wattage rating, and stay hot, so when you use Lou's adapter harness and put rear o2s on the front, you then generate no codes. The Rear o2s get a sim which won't generate a code. If you tune the car, you simply remove the code for the rear o2. That is most likely what is being referred to.

All headers will require tuning for proper performance.

Is that adapter harness a special order item/extra cost?

My understanding is it is included at no cost. o2 sims are an item you do pay for. But you can make one yourself for $.50
