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.

Dave and Brent from Brenspeed can help. They just got me squared away.

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.
