These things look pretty bad. Can i just put a bolt in the rear 02 sensor holes? I know they will throw a code but thats fine its going to throw a bunch of codes for the air and egr.

If I could go back in time to when I did my headers, I'd just shell out the cash for the Bosch vette sensors, and not even waste the 25 bucks on the plug and play extensions. I've had two of my stock sensors crap out on me since last spring.

if u want to cap a 02 sensor fitting, go to a parts store and ask for a 1989 toyota cressida engine drain plug, it is the perfect size and is from the toyota inline 6 7M-GE motor
