Default Will test-pipes screw up O2 sensor?

on my pervious cars, when i had test pipe on with the 02 sensor pluged in, the O2 sensor were screwed up, and i had to get new sensors.

i'm going to put test-pipe on my 350Z and i want to know if i just plug the O2 in the test pipe, have anyone had problems with their sensor not working after a while.

or if a non-fouler will help it. let me know soon, thank you!

White smoke indicates that the engine is burning coolant. It has nothing to do with test pipes.

You have an '06 which puts out white smoke and you're putting on test pipes. Let me guess, you didn't pay for that '06 yourself. Anyway, the sensor may get fouled sooner w/o the cats in there burning off a lot of the fuel and combustion byproducts which the engine didn't, but other than that, the test pipes themselves do not hurt O2 sensors.
