Wow, you're even confusing me with your confusion... Don't over think this. With the new setup quite simply there are two sets of headers, one for each side of the engine. Each one has a single bung for an O2 sensor before the cats. That's all. So the driver's side and passenger's side both have one O2 sensor. This is the same as the European setup where there is only one cat on each side and the O2 sensor is before that cat.

With the old/stock setup there is an O2 sensor before and after the first set of cats. Both sensors are mounted on bungs in the header. When he put his new headers on he just kept the first (front/forward most) sensor from each side. The rear, after cat, sensor was simply unplugged on each side.

Hope this helps to clear things up.

Kirk, you hit the nail right on the head. That is how I'm running my setup and it is working like a charm.

Thank you! This makes more sense to me now. I did not realize he was using the older set up. I was just trying to imagine where the bung holes were before I even got them. They arrived yesterday. Will get to finally see them today after I get off work.

Finally got to open my box of headers up. They look great! Welds are A+ and comes with new gaskets and bolts. This was a steel of a deal. For the price you can't beat it. Allot of people were suspicious of the price, but really it all has to do with supply and demand. Think about it, during Christmas time the company makes an excessive amount of headers to keep up with the demand and can therefore lower their prices. This way they can sell more. That's good business in my book. Basically we get them for whole sale cost. After the holidays they will go back up on pricing.

I couldn't agree more. This has been the best bargain I have come across in a long time.
