Best Answer

A header is just a tubular exhaust manifold. A pipe is one of the primary tubes. On an 8 cylinder, there are 4 per side/or 1 for each exhaust port. If you buy headers, go aluminized for durability & get the thickest flanges (flat part goes against head-usually 5/16-3/8-3/8 best) since that is the part that typically develops a leak. Have fun.

It is in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter. That is, it is downstream from the header, and upstream from the catalytic converter. The first O2 sensor is located under the hood on the driver's side. It is located in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter.

The wire runs up through the floor board where the connector is located under the carpet under the driver's seat.
