Maybe someone could give you some information on how to reprogram the ecu, but the O2 sensor controls how much fuel to run with a given oxygen content of the exhaust gases. Why dont you just weld a bung in the new header?

I am sure it will run, but I am not sure how well. Come over the 5.0 tech forum and post your question. You will get a lot more responses from folks that know more than I do. I dont want to steer you in the wrong direction.

you will get more power and better gas milage with them in. the computer uses the data that they pick up to supply the right amount of fuel. one question....why would you want to take them out???
