Please help do I need 02 sims for my exhaust?

Hey guys I have a 97 Z28, I bought FLP long tubes and a loudmouth cat back.
The headers have the bunges for the o2 sensor, but do I need sims?

Sims are needed only for the rear O2s and then only if the cats are damaged or removed. It prevents the PCM from kicking out a cat efficiency code. Sims are not used in the front O2 location since the PCM uses them for engine control.

So how many 02 sensors are there.
The headers I have, have o2 bunges on heach header, can I put both o2 sensors one in each header?

You have four sensors, two of which will go into the bungs and two that go in after the cats. If you are removing your catalytic converters, you will need either O2 sims or have your rear sensors programed out of your pcm.
