Just bought a set of hsv 340 clubsport headers/cats. I'm planning on fitting them up this weekend. Just wanted to ask, Is it ok if i drive the car with them on without the rear O2 sensor connected? I know it will illum the dash light, but can I cause any damage?

Have tune booked for first week of october, so it will be tuned/OTR fitted then and they'll just shut off the rear sensors i imagine.

not worth it, just give them to the tuner to fit. probably run like crap.

Before you fit them just nick on down to an exhaust shop and get sensor bungs welded in to your mid section if you don’t have them,only take a few minutes then fit your headers and enjoy.

The rear sensors only read the change in O2 from the front sensors to tell if the cats are working. Will throw the light but won't hurt anything.

Yep, got them from JHP.

Going to weld up some bungs at home tonight. They only cost me $24 and 15 minutes top drill/weld so why not.

I did this until I got mine tuned and turned off, that way no light, ro reset needed later on. The HSV LS3 headers def let the engine breath a lot better and the engine feels free as well through the rev range. One mod I am happy I did as it cost me next to nothing.

Forget about LSAs as you already have them on your car,go HSVs if you if can find a set with cats or just get headers and after market cats.

Forget about LSA stainless 4-1 as I already have stock 4-1 mild steel?

Found some places in Melbourne with stock hsv exhausts but none in adelaide and they dont ship.

LSA manifold might have fitment issue due to oil cooler I have read elsewhere
