Should I jus plug them in and let them hang? Bcuz I need to get my car home and it's a 20 mile drive

just make sure you have all the parts before tackling the project. Not worth damaging something.

id lean towards no... i dont know how much o2s and o2 extentions are for 5.0s, but for 4.6s they can get up to $75.00 each... + $20.00 each for extensions...

should you let $200.00 hang out the bottom of the car? no.

also, it will only send false/bizzar signals to your computer. you dont want your engine getting information from sensors hanging out.

*if* you have to drive home. do not plug in the o2s that would just hang.
i suggest calling a buddy with a trailor and bringing it home for proper assembly.

sounds like its reaching dangerous situations just idling, let alone under throttle... . . :-/
