Default sorry to bother but need your help one more time...i promise :)

I finally got the JBA Lts installed and ran into a problem with the O2 sensors...I bought the extentions and they do not reach the ones they are intended for...

question #1...can the o2s that were on the cats be put on the collectors instead of the end of the H pipe?

#2 what is the Tq spec for the rack and pinion?

#3 are me wiring up the O2 pointless since the car is going to be retuned and can be bypassed

#4 are they normally bypassed when you put in LTs?

thanks and sorry for being a pest but the instructions sucked and I didnt find anything on the search

1.- No you have front and rear O2 sensors that go before and after the catalytic converter respectively.
2.- I don’t know the exact torque spec, I didn’t use one, but I guess it is around 25 -35 ft/lb if you don’t get the right number use some red loctite to be safe. ( I assume you are talking about the steering column That is what I disconnected when I installed mine)
3.- Right, if you are going to get a tune, or if you happen to have a tuner already be it SCT or Diablo you can disable the O2 sensors. You can also disconnect only the rears or the fronts or all of them.
4.- It depends, I have LT ‘s and all 4 O2 sensors are installed and connected. I just used the extension that came with my SW headers.
