I just recently installed a offroad Xpipe on my 03 GT but the front oxygen sensors wont reach and I have them on the pipes but not connected. Car runs fine just want to make sure im not doing damage along the way by not having them plugged in.

You need to run them. They make extentions you can buy so they reach.

Right, the O2 sensors are essential to your engine computer's operation. Without them the car will seem to run fine, but it will actually be in limp mode.

I also noticed after installing the Xpipe and not having the front o2's plugged in im using up a bit more gas and since I have turn down's i smell gas right away when stoping at the stop sign or red light..
