o2 sensor operation

Can you make a system go to closed loop operation with open headers and an o2 senor in the headers. I can not get the exhaust hot enought with open headers

2 problems with open headers:

1) backflow of air into area that the O2 sensor is located... Will screwup readings BAD.

2) If O2 location is ok with (1) above, you will probably need a heated (3-wire) O2 sensor, not a single-wire unit. the internal heater will fix any cold operation problem(s) you have.

This is the wrong forum for this question, by the way...

If you are right about the three wire heated o2, do you know which one to buy and how to install? Wiring Diagram? Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks
