First off how many oxygen sensors does the exhaust system have and is 
one located back in the muffler section.

triumph designed it the exhaust pipes so that the core of the cat 
will quickly get to starting temperatures.

Yeah I would love to be able to gift myself with an 08 ST. I'll be 41 
on sunday.
