yes it has 2 o2 sensors spots...the seller claims you can cap off the bottom one. but i used my stock sensors. drove around, makes the car louder and quick off the line...does anyone else with a exhaust, when they turn on the a/c at idle that the car shakes a lil.

Sorrey for my lack of attention,Guess I`ve been living under a rock yes...we now can get headers for 5sfe ...the material used to make the header doesn't look too strong though ...i have mines for prob a month now and it seems to be okay...i noticed you have to sorta break in the headers or somthing because when i first got the headers on there were jus a slight difference(and yes i've reset my ecu) and now it's pretty good....heres the site for the headers(don't have to get it off ebay...) headers |

looks good lew!
just a tip for you guys who buy and install these. before you start the car for the first time, wipe down all the header pipes really well, and get all the oils from your hands off of them. once they heat cycle a few times, theyll turn a nice golden color without getting all crappy looking from all the finger prints.=) -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Very very nice Lew, these chrome headers really spruce up your engine bay. It really compliments your "red top".

update on the header, the vroom vroom is gone but not sure if its because the O2 sensor was bad or what, update tomorrow since i put a new one in...the chrome was gone after a week, probably paint it in the future, not a concern at the moment.

to be honest, I'd say they look better now than they did with the original color.

Ok Lewfx it has been a while how is the paint doing? I saw your pic and thought that that looked a lot better than the cheap chrome on mine. Also what would the "better stuff" be?
