O2 sensor sould also be as close to the original position as possible to match factory computer calibration.

I'm looking to do the same installation and I'm hoping that the X-pipe will keep the tubes in sync. I will followup with my installer to confirm this idea.I've seen one person here on the forum that installed long tube headers and posted pics. The ends of the headers looked low and exposed to potential damage if off roading. Bassani is the only manufacturer that claims to make an "equal length" mid tube header on the market. I called them and they could not confirm if the header would fit my truck. So, that's why I'm asking if anyone has tried them on their truck...
Thanks!
