You should have 2 o2 sensors. I think if you get a DC header for your year it comes with the 2 bungs, if not take it to a muffler shop.

just call dc and get the o2 extension ... or you can wire up one yourself.. just plug it into the header and crimp new wires to it and the run it up to the clip on the engine.

Do not drill a new hole, just extend your wires, that's what I had to do and from what I know there is only one o2 on the manifold and your second one is actually on your cat.

Just like he said above.

When I had DC Header on B15B7 I had to purchase a extension wire from Dc Sports.

I used regular wires and made sure my conections were good, unles you got the extra cash just get it from DC, but me being broke at the time I just used regular wires and did one at a time so I didn't get confused which wires go where.

btw you should have a four wire o2.

if u have 2 02 sensor's u can just cut off the other one and re-wired it to make it longer. That's what i did to mines then put electrical tape around it and your good to go.
