No. They're not all like that. They should have O2 Sensor Bungs installed in the collectors.

I don't have any experience with Hooker Headers, but I have installed 3 sets of Jet Hot LTs (which are based off the Hooker design) and have been a member of this site long enough to know that its a very bad idea to run an LS1 without the front O2 Sensors in place.

So, long-story-short, I would send the ones you have back and be sure they send you ones that have O2 Bungs.

Send the headers back anyways. I've had nothing but o2 issues on the driver side. I even welded it up and it still throws a code.

But yeah you have to get the rear o2s tuned out.
