Default LAF Drag Pipes and O2 Sensors

Greetings all,

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer on this matter.

I've got a '13 SG and in the process of getting a set of LAF Drag Pipes (and Torque Cones).

My question is, when I remove the stock pipes, what happens with the O2 sensors and all that?

If anyone else has done this (or something similar), do you have any advice?

Thanks again

The new pipes should have bungs for you o2 sensors. If not you can have a muffler shop weld some in for you. Just a bit of caution with the LAF pipes. Your going to have a heck of a time getting them tuned in properly. Even with torque cones on a stock motor you will loose way to much back pressure.

Okay so it turns out the pipes aren't equipped with bungs. Any idea if o2 sensor eliminators are a option?

So I picked up the bungs from the dealership for ZAR120 (USD12). Pipes sounds amazing and I'm really happy. Next step is a tuner and air intake.
