No the e-bay ones are a perfect fit. Your 2 sensors right now (O2 and heat) are fairly distant from one another.... the header will bring them closer together which you'll need to unplug both sensors to get done. Other than that its a direct fit job. You'll need to loosen your alternator a bit so you can get a wrench on the bolt there and you might need an extra hand to get the header attached to the flex pipe, but other than that its a one man job that shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. (mine took a lot longer because the O2 sensor hadn't moved since it was put on by the factory and was practically welded to the stock manifold). |

I didn't realize you were running a 7a. From what I've gotten you'll need to extend the pipe 4-6 inches as well as have a second hole drilled for your other sensor. Sorry again for the confusion. |
