Hi there,

The O2 sensor can go anywhere up stream of the cat converter, when a down stream )2 sensor is fitted as well this is only for diagnostics purposes. The headers will give a small increase in power and engine response as the exhaust gas flows is a lot smoother and volumetric effeminacy is improved.
