headers install

I just bought chikara headers to install on my 98 civic si coupe. (The stock exhaust manifold cracked like all do). Thing is I'm afraid of getting just any garage to install them. I know that they can intentionally strip the O2 sensor when removing them from the stock headers, and 02 sensor cost alot.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should go to install my headers without getting ripped off?

thanks to all who reply.

I would have to suggest one of the affiliates. Personal preference is either RT or Altech. Give them a call

You might need a new O2 sensor if you can get the old one out. Sometimes they rust pretty badly in there and theres no way to get them out.

I had my DC Sports header installed at Speedtech. No problem with removing and reinstalling the O2 sensor, although my car was newer than yours. The older the car is, likely the harder it will be to remove.
