Default New member a bunch of issues

Hey all, my buddy has a 2001 Camaro SS. He's had it for a while and while showing it off to me, I decided to hook up my HPtuners and take a log of the car. The car has catless Hooker long tube headers, and a KN intake. Right off the bat I know the car has an exhaust leak, and it is throwing the codes for the o2 sensors. What was alarming me was the fact that the HPtuners software didn't recognize the o2 sensors at all, and was not outputting a voltage nor reading the LTFT and STFT. The car has some 90k miles on it, and when I pulled out one of the sensors it was black. Also, replacing one of the sensors (didn't have time to do both) didn't help

The log only produced 26.5lb/min of air from the MAF which is not what we were expecting.

My main question is, where does the o2 sensor connect to the harness on the engine (so I can check for ruined wires from the LTs)
And also, why is the airflow so poor?

Dirty air filter, or clogged maf screen. **** can the k&n, get a paper filter and inspect the maf screen.

Follow the wires up from the o2 sensor. It should plug in right around the bottom back side of the head.
