Default 09 Head Pipe on 12 Limited?

Has anyone done this or know if this will work. The main question is with the angled bungs, will the o2's sensor fit. The front looks tight. Thanks

'09 head pipes used 18mm 02 bungs up near the head. '12 models have the 12mm 02 bungs near the collector.

If you are planning to switch over to a ThunderMax ECM then you should not have a problem.

Yes I am thinking of using a Thunder Max, I'm just not sure the front o2 sensor has enough room to fit. I guess I'm going to find out. Thanks

I talked to two dealers and the first said he didn't think the o2 had enough room, the second said he thought it would fit but wasn't sure. One dealer wanted to sell me their tuner and dyno time, go figure. With the wealth of knowledge on here someone surly has the answer I'm looking for.

I believe the instructions for the tunder max even states if you have a 10 or new pipe you need to weld in bungs or to get a 09 header and use. Not sure if it was the factory one or a after market one but I do believe one of them was to close. Give the guys at zippers a call and ask.

I have run 09 head pipes on a '12 and now my '13 Limited. The reason I went with the 09 is the buing placement and diameter. My 12 and 13 limiteds use 12mm bungs down at the cat. I use Power Commander V programmer that unplugs the stock O2 sensors. I wanted to purchase the Autotune function for my PCV which comes with 2 18mm Bosch O2 sensors. I needed the 18mm bungs.

I called V&H and asked the difference between the '09 and '10 Power Dual Head Pipes. The only difference is bung diameter, location and bung angle. There is no difference in the motor, tranny, frame configuration '09-'13.

I have never had the need to purchase the Autotune or tried the 18mm bungs but, they worked in the '09 so should work on my '13

09 head pipes on the way, from what I've read I believe they will work just fine.

Here is my '13 with V&H Power Duals for '09. Again I plugged and never added the 18mm Wide Band O2's
