running no o2 sensors is not a good idea, the o2 sensors have an adaptor plug on them thats why there is 2 nuts take the big one off and they will thread into the headers. i scratched my head with that problem when putting my headers on then realized what was going on. This is the nut you have to take offNotice the smaller thread on the o2 sensor without the nut on it hope this solves your problem
