Long tube header problems

I will be running long tube headers. I am just a little worried about these possible issues or any other that you inform me about. Has anyone run into problems other then clearance? For example:

1. The O2 sensor not reading right causing the engine to not run right?
2. To much exhaust flow, not enough air flow or vise versa?
3. Reaching a certain MPH or RPM and the motor choking or Making RPM bounce or Making a noise?
4. In proper exhaust flow or check engine codes?
5. What other problems have you encountered?

Please let me know and make me aware of what I will need to do. I am only focused on the header issues for now. Thank you.

Re: Long tube header problems

you might have to run a heated 02 sensor. i dont see the engine choking at all. i have shorties on an rs with a 305, high flow cat, and a magnaflow catback and i didnt loose power. choking. i doubt it.

You think the results will be the same on the Long tubes? Thanks.
