Default o2 sensors and H Pipes

I have a set of H pipes for my 87 fox but am afraid that I am going to burn out my stock o2 sensors and at $75/piece I'm not real excited about replacing them every 6 months. I'm in NC where I don't need cats from 95 and older.

any ideas?

thanks

i drove my 87gt with off road h for 2 years and never had a problem with the original o2 sensors. you shouldnt have any problem with them unless your car is running rich or burning oil and contaminating them.

Well, first of all, is you car running rich? You can adjust it with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
