Header and O2 question for a noob

[project93accord]

Got a header of eBay and the O2 sensor is on the header pic is included below...my question is what's going to happen CEL, gas mileage, etc. if I don't use it also....can I get an extension wire for the O2 and where? The factory location on a 93 EX is on the downpipe near the flex pipe isn't it?

is that o2 sensor hole plugged like it looks in the picture? if so you should be able to just leave it alone and keep the 02 sensor in the stock location

The downpipe has not O2 hole...what to do?

[project93accord]

suggestions??

Anyone???

you can buy an O2 bung, have a muffler shop weld it onto the factory location of the downpipe; shouldn't be more than $30-40.

Found a local hotrod shop and will see if they can do it for me...Thanks for the 411...

Where can you get an O2 bung? Any suggestions?

a local muffler shop should have them or www.kteller.com

If the header that you bought dosent have the bung on the downpipe you can put the o2 sensor on the top portion. All you are going to have to do is extend the wires on the o2 harness from under the engine to the front of the engine. Not hard to do at all.

It will read correctly still? and not throw a code and kick the CEL on??

[bruno8747]

if you extend the wires properly and dont cross the wires it wont throw a code.

n/p. either any of the above methods mentioned will work just fine. i'm just a meticulous mofo(according to Wikked ) so welding the bung keeps the O2 in the factory location, and that you don't see the O2 sticking out on the primary runners of the header.
