Or, if you don't know what to type in (or just too lazy to)... try going through the Accord FAQ.

The hole is further downstream. You'll need to extend the O2 sensor wires to reach.

Agreed. If you want to do the work yourself, start with bolt ons and learn more about your car. Otherwise if money isn't the big issue, enlist a shop to help you. Don't mess up a working car trying to 'fix' it if you don't know how. We all started somewhere

i checked some treads and info on internet. is it possible that on swaping headers the sensor could be broken? now repair-man swaped sensors. i mean he puted front sensor in to rear sensor place and rear into front's. all i need is to swap them back. and if nothing changes - buy new sensors ? . is that right solution ?
