Sorry all I can think of is Beavis and Butthead.

What bunghole do you have on your headers? A bunghole is a hole in a keg or barrel. 02 Sensor bung?

You may have to put a new one on and weld that one closed with a plug.

Any exhaust shop can weld in a new O2 bung for you, and weld a plug in place over your stripped out bung. It's a quick & easy job for them.
