Apparently "heated O2 sensor" means "HEATED O2 sensor".
I committed a folly. I hooked up my postcat O2's just to get my CEL to go off. I planned on installing them permanently (in the exhaust pipe) next weekend after I get my exhaust done. Well, today I get to work and I notice a buning plastic smell through my air vent plus my CEL came on. "Voltage too low, air leak" on both my postcat sensors. Damn. I open the hood and realized the problem. I left the plastic caps on the new O2's to keep them protected. Bad idea, they melted all over the ends of both O2's. I was sitting at my desk for 15 minutes picking the plastic out of the holes with a push pin (damn those things were HOT). I certainly hope these things are ruined. :-(
Moral of the story, don't do that!

are you gonna have those headers popped in with the exhaust?
or is that for down the road still once the heads are P&P'd
And I think the 02 sensors will be ok... at least I hope too... for your sake
You can buy another set and then return these saying they didn't work =P That's kinda crooked though and only a person of low morals would probably do it... not that I would know from experience or anything to that extent
