Default Reinhart true Duals

Just finished installing Reinhart True Duals on my 2008 Street Glide and had a question about the the O2 sensors. The exhaust system came with plugs for the o2 sensors, but there's nothing mentioning plugging them in the instructions. Anyone have any advice on whether or not I should use the plugs or reconnect the O2 sensors? Also when I fired it up, I got a little smoke coming from where the header pipes connect to the cylinder. Is this normal because the pipes are new?

The smoke is normal, oils from your hands and what not burning off. As far as the O2's mine are plugged in to the sensors. Hope this helps.

Re-connect the O2 sensors. The only reason you would use the plugs was if you were using some sort of system that eliminated the O2 sensors, like a PCIII, and then you would be using their O2 eliminators. If you were using the O2 sensors prior to installing the Rineharts, then you still need them with your new exhaust.
