As I recall the EPA distance for front O2 sensor is 16" or so. The reason most LT won't pass CARB is the sensor is to far from the exhaust manifold.

Well I've now completely ruled out the thought of using OBX... There are many other brands out there, and when I first signed up on PT.NET I stated one of my hardest decisions would be what headers to go with. Somebody (i cant remember who) stated "why are headers going to be your hardest decision". Well because there are so many brands, and living in ND if I do get the pacesetters I pretty much have to get them coated which puts me into a whole different price range.....

You can't have everything for cheap. You either compromise and get the OBX's for $500 or pay $1000+ for dynatechs, american racing, etc.
