    1 pre cat, 1 post cat.

    It never hurts to change them, they do at some point require a change (100k ish). The new denso sensors are leaps ahead of the factory ones that were in my 00 gtp. I'd replace both, you can get em online for a good deal through rock auto.

    So you recommend Denso sensors over AC Delco?

    Denso/delco is the same thing in my book. Half the parts on your vehicle are either a ac delco or a denso part.

    I prefer to stay with a factory type sensor, instead of say a bosch etc etc.

    Man, was that sucker ever in there. I wailed on that wrench till I was afraid the jack stands were going to tip. Figured with my luck I'd bust the manifold too. Finally got my nephew to come over and burn the ***** out. Never had anything stick that bad.
