headers installation question

I'm installing a 4-2-1 header on my ek coupe. I see on the stock header there is some sort of sensor connected between two of the pipes. My question is do I just disconnect this sensor or do I have to make adjustments to my aftermarket headers!!

Re: headers installation question

The 6th gen Civics all have 4 wire O2 sensors and there are 2 of them. One before and one after the cat. If you have an LX or DX coupe then you'll have to install a bung for the secondary otherwise move the primary sensor from your old stock header into the bung that came with your new header.
