hedmen headers 68470 and y-pipe 17470 o2 sensor install
I was wondering where you install the o2 sensor on these headers. I was thinking down in the y-pipe right were the 2 come togeather

How do you guys like those headers and the ypipe? They a good fit and good power gains. Im stuck between these and the 2460HKR hooker headers and the y-pipe that goes with it.
Which one is easier to install and more power?
Thanks Alot,

imo headers are headers and the installation is the same on these cars... the drivers side is easy, 10 to 15 min and the passenger side is a real kick in nutz....took about 1 hour to 1 1/2.....mainly on putting the bolts on specially the one on the inside and i had issues with the oil dip stick...broke it actually i wonder how everyone else got thru with that and did not bend or break that sucker....as far as power.....exhaust wont give you that much unless you compliment it with a real good intake....then you can maybe get about 10-15....maybe...also make sure you have a good high flo cat and muffler....which there is another issue of preference....anyways....good luck

I don't have an O2 sensor, but the drivers side is where it goes. You can put it in the y-pipe if you want, but it is not ideal.

The passenger side bolts were a pain, but nothing that isn't do-able. The drivers side bolts were easy.

10-15hp? I've heard with nice headers 3" all the way back and an intake you can pick up 30 on a LO3. i guess maybes its just cause its so choked...
