SLP and Heated O2 sensor
I am in the process of swaping out Hooker Long Tubes for SLP headers. My car is wired for 3 wire heated O2 sensor where I had it in the Y-pipe section. Now that I am going with the SLP headers where the O2 sensor is now located closer to stock position and closer to the head:
Can I go back to a single wire O2 sensor without any problems?
Would it be a bad idea or hurt the 3 wire O2 sensor if I kept it and moved it closer to the head on the SLP exhaust?
Or would I be better off to plug the O2 location on the SLP exhaust and weld in another O2 location further back on the sytem away from the head and keep the 3 wire heatd O2?
Thanks

You can go with either. Your exhaust will be hot enough to get by with the one wire 02 but I would keep the 3 wire since they are more accurate and you already have one.

I agree w/Shifty, keep the 3-wire heated sensor.
