Do hooker 2460 shorties need heated 02?

Got some headers for my 82 computer controlled carbed LG4 305. Got headers and y pipe too. Do I need a heated o2 sensor since it’s further away and cools more than the stock manifolds? How could I install one I have nowhere to route it to (mechanic fuel pump etc)

You wont need heated o2. I ran mine for years with no problems with stock sensor and same headers.

Great thanks! No MPG or drivability issues then?

Usually it's long tubes that need a heated O2. When I switch from shorties to hooker long tubes my car would not go into closed loop.
