Race Headers Longtube

If I installed a set of longtube race headers. Would the motor detonate because of the emision sensors? I am aware of the O2 sensor plug but what would happen if we didn't plug it back into the exhaust? What is the typical install time for headers?

The computer relies on the O2 sensors to run the engine efficiently. I did start mine up without the O2's and it ran like C R A P.

Plan on a full day with installing headers from scratch. MAYBE 2 depending on experience.
