A mechanics shop.


Next time be a little more informative, No one is going to have any idea what your asking.

Are you asking where you can buy new O2's?

Are you asking who can replace your O2's?
If you are asking who can replace your O2's we have no idea where you live.

Any auto parts store can get you one.

Also hit them with some penetrating oil (pb blaster works good) before you try to bust them loose.

Get a bigger bar on it if you can (I forget what stock manifolds look like as far as room goes), how hot did you heat it up normally if you get them nice and toasty bolts(O2's etc.) just come right off.

Be sure you get the Delphi or AC delco if you manage to find an old one in stock. The Bosch is a different brand and in some cases throws off the readings if you have different than OEM O2 sensors in both banks. Been there done that.

well guys, while im here, i wanna tell you im looking at headers. the first set i looked at was a nice set of hooker's. Lets just say i wasn't near pleased at the price. nearly 900 dollars.........out of the question. so my next question...... anyone know a nice set of headers that are aluminum or some material that WILL NOT rust for alot cheaper than hooker's. Also, any tips on installing these the right way so i don't scratch anything on them. any help would be truly appreciated

Stainless steel headers is an option, going to run you though.
