Exhaust question
So I was looking through LMC's catalog and I found two exhaust systems that got my gears turning.
The first was number 48-5568 and is a cat back dual exhuast system. The only problem is that the picture that they show has the pipes going streight out the back, which isn't good for a bronco, (Exhuast gas in the cab is somthing to avoid or so I've heard). I would have just let ignored this product except there are two versions listed one is just a normal cat back system, the other is listed specially as a bronco cat back system. I was wondering if anyone had ever used this kit and knew where the tips duct out at.
The second I found was a true dual exhaust system 48-5552. The picture for this one shows the exhuast exiting in the right location, but no way to hook up an O2 sensor, again has anyone used this kit and if so is there a way to hook up an 02 sensor?
Here is a link to the actual page. LMC Truck Parts - Page 143
any help would be great.

That kit is only offered for the F150 and you are right, it comes right off the manifolds. True Duals. I don't think you could run that on the Bronco with the way the transfer case is, not sure tho.
I'd say just go to a local exhaust shop, I had a local shop make me a dual exhaust straight out the back. I had a Flowmaster single in dual out and they installed it all beautifully and added these really nice stainless tips. Installed new rubber hangers on both sides. All in all it only cost me 200 out the door. I would not normally run the tips straight out the back for ventilation issues, I always run with a bikini top so I have plenty of airflow, but even then I still get a good whiff sometimes. i plan on angling them out at 45 degrees eventually.

You can't run it that way anyway. Without a crossover the HEGO will not "see" the entire engine, only one bank of cylinders. While it MIGHT not present a problem, if you ever have issues with any of the cylinders in the bank that is NOT in the exhaust stream being fed across the HEGO, you won't know it and you wont be able to troubleshoot it.
