thats going to cause a lot of problems. If the EEC doesn't know how much oxygen is in the exhaust, it doesn't know how much fuel to inject.

Go to a parts store and buy an O2 sensor bung. Take it to a muffler shop and have it installed in the exhaust pipe.

yes, it can be mounted in just one pipe, but you have to cut a hole in the pipe and weld in a bung. you can't just cut a hole n throw the sensor in it. An O2 sensor measures outside oxygen as well as how much is in the exhaust, so make sure it's clean on the outside.
