Hooker LT's and O2 sensors!! THEY DONT FIT! 
Got my cam swap done today, and I was just putting the final pieces back together... I think those jackelopes at hooker welded my o2 bungs on the wrong side.. On the drivers side I cant get them on because the heat shield is in the way that covers the fuel lines, so no I'm not gonna move it. On the pass side, it faces outward making it harder to get the line over there without laying it across the header. What gives?

I had to trim the heat shield to get my O2 sensor to fit on the driver's side. I also had to put a **** load of pressure against the header so that it would screw in square and not cross threaded. I had O2 extensions for the passenger side so I actually had some left over. I believe I ran my passenger O2 over the heat shield then I fastened it away from the header.

How big of a problem would it cause to take these sheilds off completely? Anyone removed them? Problems? Would it be too much of a fire hazard?

As for hookers, yes the o2 bungs are definitely difficult to access. For my friend's we just put a lot of pressure on the header and bent the heat shield back until we could finally get the o2 sensor screwed in straight. I would not remove that heat shield if I were you.

As far as fixing things...Jet Hot has nothing to fix from what I can tell. They make the same power as virtually any other header on the same tier and fit better than probably all of them on the same tier.
