Ya you use the stock O2 sensors, Also dont tighten your heat shields until your finished, they get in the way of the head bolts. Hope you enjoy them, I love mine!!

Did the new exhaust have the bung holes welded into them for the 02 sensors? What about the cross over pipe was that elimnated with the V&amp\\;H's?

I installed my V&H StraightShots along with my PCIII. The PCIII comes with O2 sensor eliminators, but unfortunately the exhaust didn't come with plugs for the O2 sensor holes. I just cut off the wires flush with the O2 sensor and reinstalled them. I really would have thought they'd have sent some sort of plug. If/when I take the exhaust off again, I'll investigate a better plug, but it works for now.
