Why would you even want one? Odds are you'd never get accurate O2 readings back there anyways with a full aftermarket exhaust. (Maybe with a good tune..??) Makes no sense imo.

Good point, even with the the O2 ports you will still get the check engine light.

American Racing Headers does. Quote from the owner emailed to me when I asked him why my ORY had them:

Mike, the two additional bungs are for the secondary O2's that locate after the cats. We install them since most folks reinstall all four O2 sensors even if the secondaries O2's are shut off. I could send you plugs to cap them off Monday if you wish. When not running cats, we used to delete the secondary O2's bungs but some complained that the wanted them so we now include them on all systems. Let me know and I'll ship you a set. Thanks.

Just how do you compute those odds? You think 2 feet of
pipe is changing the oxygen content somehow?

Just re-read the OP and I thought he was using a catted y-pipe. My mistake.
