y pipe install today.. : ( 02 sensor missing.

installed my stillen y pipe today. everything went well except the front o2 sensor. the threads were messed up and the we couldnt get the sensor out. so i used a breaker bar and forced it, threads got eaten up real bad. it wont go back into the stillen o2 sensor hole. i plugged it up with a bolt that fit but now im rolling around with my check engine light on(god its so annoying) and no front o2 sensor on my y pipe. am i gonna have any problems rolling liek this for long, i wont have the funds to get a new one for a while. do u guys think its gonna run rich or lean on fuel. if its gonna run rich im not gott drive so hard as to save some milage.

oh and stillen y is great. feel more power after around 4k and its so quiet. no buzz, no hiss. sounds stock pretty much. love it. jsut wish it had both o2 sensors on it.

whats a good place to get an o2 sensor what what is a good price. is anything over 100 bux too much already?

threads on new pipe are perfect..its new.. just the old o2 sensor pretty much doesnt have anymore thread..

anyone ever use the bosch sensors..do they work well, last long, ect..im mainly worried bout milage ie. running too rich.

the ones on that site come with a connector rigt.i wont have to cut/solder on the factory connectors?

The ones at www.oxygensensors.com were direct replacements. No cutting or sodering.
