kook's Header's and O2 sensor's ??
 
I just installed my Kook's headers and Y-pipe but my o2 sensors seem to be a bit short(running Bosch) I have the extensions already on the car but the bungs are located different than my Hooker's. Should I worry about them getting to hot/melting being this close to the headers ?? Thanks

How close are they?

Are you using the bosch 13111s or the stock with extensions?
As long as they don't physically touch the header, they should be fine, if it really bothers you you might get some aluminum tape, or header wrap to put around the wires to further protect them

The passenger side should be no problem, I had my wires ziptied to the starter wires. I ziptied the wires to the hydraulic line for the clutch on the driverside, then connected it.

The hookers had the bungs on the door sides of the collectors, while the Kooks are on the tranny sides right?

They were touching until I got smart about it, doesn't look the best but should work.

The shop that installed them last used 13444 but I do have the extensions. I wrapped some aluminum tape around the wires and zip tied them as far away as I could, hopefully it won't be an issue. Next time I will get the 13111 since they have the longer wires.

Actually that was more of the trouble side for me but I do believe they way I ran it and put aluminum tape around the wires should protect it well enough.
