o2 sensor

Has anyone found a cheap place to buy o2 sensors. The reason I ask is I'm getting the ppe headers installed and they can strip easily and the dealer wants 323.00 for one so two would cost more then the install.

As long as they use the proper tool you should be ok.

Can someone chime in thats knowledgeable and post the proper tool for our cars?

I found the 1 below...I have heard of a special socket to remove o2 sensors and would like to install my Joe Z exhaust on base rather than pay someone to do it.

Sort of. There are two locations - upstream and downstream. For the exhaust system, you want the downstream O2 sensor. For a header install, you'd want the upstream sensor. Considering they have the OEM Denso units, I'd buy them first because they're most likely to be plug n' play where other units may require wire splicing to work. Definitely not what you'd prefer in a device producing microamps of current to do what it does.
