Default Rear o2 sensor Question????

I recently just put some headers on and forgot to zip tie the o2 senors up and they hit the headers and started to melt... so i was wondering if the rear o2 sensors would work for the fronts??? I have the extensions on the way but i was just curious to see if the rears would work for the fronts or if i was SOL.....and have to buy new ones? Thanks

Make sure you get your car tuned now that you have headers. If you don't your gas mileage will suffer, you might throw some codes and so on.

when i pulled my o2 sensors off when i did my header install, one was stripped when i got done with it, and i just swapped it for a rear one, and spliced them to make them long enough. worked for me.
