Default dumb question

Well i just did the LT's and ORY and magnaflow catback. I didnt have time at the shop to get the front 02 extentions done so I just hooked up the rear 02's to the header port. My car is running like crap but that is also due to one of the spark plugs I cracked while installing the driver header So once i get the spark plug replaced is the rear 02's being there make it run bad?

Front 02's control fuel mixture, rear o2's are for emissions. you need to get the front o2's hooked up asap.

If I'm not mistaken the part numbers for the front and rear O2s are the same. hook the correct connector up to the front O2s and fix the spark plug

+1 Fronts are 100% Nessesary, Rears however, only monitor that the Cats are working. Oh and there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers!

If you don't have O2 extensions yet, you can use Bosch 13111's for the fronts without the extensions. They are vette rear O2's and work fine. Have them on mine and are cheaper suprisingly then the stock O2's for our cars.
