Default O2 Sensor question

The current O2 sensors that I have currently on the car have never been changed. (in maybe like 5 to 10 years). When I changed my H-pipe to a BBK highflow one i noticed the sensors looked pretty beat up. Anyways I recently deleted the smog pump and I was wondering if I purchased new O2 sensors from Oriellys will they mess up because there is no smog pump? the car runs lean I can smell it, (no leaks). Probably due to faulty sensors.

WTF MAN! thats what i was told it means(maybe not your smartest person)when you smell lots of gas fumes when your car is running. Theres no reason forYOU to act sarcastically. As I read through the "search" section of this forum its people like YOU (TTGreen) that F^ this forum and are think they are the sh*t because they know SO much. Thats what this forum was made for...to ask questions, get answers, and eliminate misunderstandings that common people have in respect to certain issues they might be having.

im just kiddin man......I think you will be fine with new O2 sensors im not sure if you have to reset the pc if you put them on even thoo I would after time your cars pc learns that the O2 sensors are getting old and will adjust for it..new ones might confuse it.
again man Im sorry I just had to say it....

Dont mean to hijack your thread but have a queston on something that was brought up . I just got new headers and pipes, one O2 was stripped. So i replaced it. Should I think of replacing the other one also and/ or reset the PC ?

thanks
