Default 97 Civic EX header help

Hi, i recently bought DC 4-2-1 two piece headers for my car. But i noticed on my stock manifold that there is a o2 sensor where the 4 pipes converge. The headers I bought don't seem to have a bung where the 02 sensor goes. Can you take a look at this and help me out.

You need one of those o2 sensor wire exteneders, or u can extend the wires using 4 wires and splicing them inline.

they might have snt you the wrong one, you are obd2 and require 2 O2 sensors, if they sent you and obd1 header it would still fit your car but not have the second O2 sensor bung might want to check that out

I know i don't have 2 because I checked the downpipe that is connected to the cat. there isn't a second sensor there. the only one ive found is the one right before the top part of the manifold connects to the downpipe. So let me get this straight. I should just extend that sensor to the downpipe of the DC header, because that is the only o2 sensor bung?
