:usa: I just put a pair of longtube headers and off-road y-pipe on my 96 Firebired LT-1. I used egr block off plates for the egr, caps for the AIR, but I don't know what to do with all of the O2 or oxygen sensor wires. Do I just unplug the old sensors and leave them? Keep in mind this is still an OBD-I car so I can't buy, or find for that matter, any fake O2's. The car seems to ride ok, but it idles a little more shakey and it hesitates a little when it's floored. If there is anyone out there with these RACE headers and nowhere to put these sensors, please leave feedback on what you have done with yours.

96 and 97 are obd-2 thats anycar 96 and up! just have an extended bung put on your pipes abought 2" so the 02 will still heat up but wont read all of the nasty crap coming out the exaust. becouse it not all the way in the pipe. it just reads some of it so the o2 thinks the cat is still there
