Good advice on the O2 sensor. I wouldn't have thought of that.

I saw the S&S headers and always wondered about the quality. I'm in TN, so
it wouldn't take too much of a beating with the winter/salt like it would
farther east. I'm sure it's not too terribly long before my engine blows
up(crossing my fingers), but I figured if I put in a rebuilt 2.2 or
something, then I could still use the same pipes. The $400 price point is
definitely tempting! I'm going to look into those on my lunch break.
Thanks!
