Stupid Question
With the car up on jack stands, the o2 sensors are a breeze to find. Not so easy is where the rear sensor connects. I took pics and videos of the wire trailing out of the sensor, I couldn't nail it down. It does not seem to be like the photo in the Bentley book.

Could the installation of headers have caused something to be rerouted or reconfigured? I am replacing the rear sensor, and the cat and all look like they are all normal stock equipment.

The front sensor wire connects just above the sensor itself; the connector is easily visible. Is the plug above it the lead from the rear sensor? If so, I do not think the lead on the replacement sensor is nearly long enough to reach it. Here it is in the image below:

This is the rear sensor:

Here the sensor wire disappears:
