Default jba header issue

As some people read on here, I have been having some problems with my jba long tubes and throwing a P0152 engine light constantly. How hard would it be to just plug off the O2 sensor bung and put a new one on one of the pipes themselves? Does it matter which header pipe you use (which cylinder)?

Have you had it tuned since the headers? A week after I had my JBA long tubes put in I threw the same code. After I got it tuned it's fine.

You need a tune.

I got the tune before the headers, but told Brent from Brenspeed about the headers when I ordered the tune. I phoned them a couple days ago, and Dave told me that its a factory flaw in the headers, cause the O2 sensor is too far downstream, its not getting a good enough reading. He said the only fix would be to move the O2 sensor further up the header.

Zellanor, what did they do to help you? Did you get a tune from them? If I don't have to relocate these O2 sensors, I don't want too.
