Anyone with headers have this issue??
Well, i have replaced my O2 sensors two months or so ago, but today i checked and i have an o2 sensor code in my car again... WTF
Well, i checked it out in a shop and they are saying, that my o2 sensor will keep burning out due to having LT headers on... They are saying not to worry about it car will keep running fine as it already does...
Anyone here dealt with issue like that? How would i fix that?

If I'm not mistaken that's for the rear O2 sensor...which will not affect performance etc...just triggers the SES light. That sensor is to monitor the effectiveness of the catalytic converter. You can either have the rear sensors tuned out of the car, or make your own "mil eliminator". Mil eliminators used to be available...but not anymore.

You can also put in O2 simulators. They are like a fake O2 sensor. Then you don't need to tune them out because the sims will tell the PCM that everything is fine, all the time.

I have o2 sims and they work great! I've had them for about 2+ years. replacing o2 sensors on an lt header car does no good. If you're not running cats the only sensors to be plugged in are the front ones. The rear ones need to be disconnected and zip tie the plug up. Either tune it out, get o2 sims, or just ignore the light.
