Default Long Tube Headers and Sensors

Okay I have a 02 SS with hooker long tube headers. It kept throwing codes on me so I put a simulator on the read o2 sensors but now I am getting the PO134 code which I believe is my front sensors. Now I dont think that those are even plugged in or have a spot to plug into the headers. I looked up the Hooker headers kit and it says that it requires rear simulators which I have, but how do I fix the front sensors now. The car runs rich when the light comes on. Please help.

You have 2 front, 2 rear HO2 sensors - the front one(s) may have fouled due to manufacturing oils in the headers...

The engine needs the upstream (before the cat) O2 sensors to run properly. If there is no place to mount them, you will have to drill into the exhaust system and weld in bungs so that the sensors can be screwed in. You need a sensor for each cylinder bank/
