You got to have them hooked up to the headers. Fuel system gets readings from these sensors in order to adjust air to fuel ratio, without these, engine will run like crap... you can tune the rear sensors out, but you got to keep front ones.
Don't drive it like that. If it's too rich enough, it'll wash down the rings and cause severe wear, and may even lead to early death of bearings. Fix the O2s, change the oil immediately.
Buy O2 sensor bungs and have them welded on... I don't get why ANYONE would sell a header without O2 bungs.

You need 02 sensors, buy a set from Sam Taylor, about 35 each. You can get extensions at Speedinc.com a sponsor, you only need the 12" flat style extension and some zip ties.
FYI do not drive the car.

Verdad Gallardo The offer 24 " but those were WAAAAY too long, just get zip ties in case, if they made a 18" I think it would have been ideal. I bought the 24" and learned the hard way.
