im planning on getting some LTs so..is this gonna happen to me to....should i just buy new o2 and wait till these ones go bye bye .....or just run it with out the o2s for a small period of time?

Run it without the O2's for a day or two and you should be fine.

Personally, now that I've done headers, I would just buy 2 new O2 sensors right away. After the install, run the old ones for a couple of weeks or longer, then install the new ones. You probably have enough miles on the car that it makes sense to change them anyways.

This post is in Advanced Tech as well...the latest response was that there is teflon in some of the coatings being used (unsure as to which ones though)....

Teflon has a vapor temperature of 600-700 degrees, and the exhaust gases are more like 1200, so its obvious that this so called "settling in" is really that nice coating getting burned up and more or less CURED from the inside out...

Best advice is to simply leave old O2's in..then after several thermocycles swap in new plugs. I would favor the majority of peoples problems being O2 sensors, NOT O2 extensions, which are nothing more than wires with a harness (not much that can go wrong there)

hope this helps..
