O2 Sensor Location on Offroad Headers

I was wondering where you put O2 sensors on offroad hooker headers. Offroad meaning that they dont come with O2 bungs. Is there header extensions with O2 bungs welded on and is that too late in the exhaust flow?

In the collectors, about 2" - 4" past the point where all four primary tubes merge. If they are single-wire unheated sensors, you may run into trouble with the sensors not warming up to operating temperature.

Well there coated hookers so I rather use a extension pipes off the headers. Dont really want to weld on my headers and what year camaro's use single-wire unheated O2s?

I believe the 3rd Gens and the 93 4th Gens used single wire sensors. It is possible to convert to heated sensors. I'd have to look at my Chiltons to verify your 92 has single-wire.

If you are using a 95 PCM, you will need 4-wire heated O2 sensors just to avoid codes for the heater circuits.

Yep, big trouble! Im ordering a heated 02 conversion from Fastbird over on speeddensity.org for my 93. Not sure which o2s im gonna go with though, my NGKs didnt hold up at all.
