SOOOO... im changin my headers right, the left side fell to 3 peices when i removed the bolts and the right side fell right in half, then i cut off the rest with a sawsall POWERTOOLS! cause the bolts were broken on the donut piece. ANYWAYS, why does my truck run better with no headers and the O2 sensor cut off? just curious why its that way....

You're running it with no exhaust manifolds?

There is no way itll run better forever, without the O2 sensor the vehicle will start to run like ****. Probably makes some stupid amount of noise too.
