From manifolds to headers
Ok guys this is what i have a 1996 f150 4x4 5.0 so i just re-done the exhaust mind you my truck since ive had it has never had o2 sensor for behind the cat it was straight piped from the manifolds when i got it. So to the probelm i couldnt find headers cheap enough or even year spec for 96 so i got long tube headers for a 95 bronco which work just fine but they did not have the holes for the ho2s sensors so i figured what the heck ill just unplug em its not gona effect the truck cause the second o2 sensor hasnt been on either but thatwas the wrong thing to do so my question is there a way to delete, simulate, or eliminate the ho2s sensor without welding on my new headers ..... please share lol cause i have yet to find a simulator or delete specific for ho2s

It will cost you maybe $50 to get bungs welded in. Why in the he!! would you waste any effort or energy trying to figure something else out? It's your truck; be my guest and figure it out the hard way.

I successfully converted a 95 LT1 over to full time open loop, 2 bar speed density. O2 and MAF delete. It can work, as some 4 stroke outboards, pwc’s, and motorcycles work this way from the factory. However, it took ALOT of time logging WBO2 data and tweaking the calibration to get it there.
Just weld in o2 bungs and put the sensors back in.
