stupid question about headers
stupid question about headers I know this may sound dumb but I just ordered a set of Hooker longtube headers for my 2000 trans am 6 speed...do you have to have o2 extensions? some people are saying yes and others are saying no.....does it depend on the brand of headers wether or not you need the extensions?
You need extensions for the fronts, and have the rears tuned out. You can also buy a set of rear O2 simulators if you can find them.
2 24" extensions will work fine. If you're broke, you can cut/splice them longer, but that's not something I would suggest.
Another option is to buy two Bosch #BS13111 oxygen sensors. These have longer harnesses on them and work great. They have also been rumored to have stronger heaters and work well on cars with LT headers.

That place used to be the cheapest, now they look like $70 each.
Pay no attention to above jackass poster.
Sorry Thomas lol.

You will need the 02 extensions or you can buy the corvette's long rear 02 sensors and they will work very well. I would personally buy the corvette sensors and be done with it. I don't like to use the extensions.
Just like they said above either take the car to some one and have them tune out the rear 02 sensors or use simulators.
The part number for the corvette bosch 02 sensor is 13111 you can get them from auto zone for around $60 and the wires on them are plenty long.

The computer will go over its normal checks, but it will just ignore the fact that it's missing. The SES light will not come on. The setting says "No error reported". So it recognizes the problem, but doesn't do anything about it.
