I expect I'm going to need to re-locate my 02 bungs on my headers. Prior to welding are there any grounds or controllers that need to be disconnected besides the battery?

Disconnect the battery and you're good. I've welded on my exhaust many times on the car.

Is this the issue where the bung is perpendicular to the exhaust pipe instead of at an angle and moisture is killing the o2 sensors? If so, you could try wrapping the exhaust around the o2 bung. It has worked for some.

It is, however the moisture i believe is within the exhaust.
My game plan for now is to try the Innovate heat sinks and see how long that lasts. I will need to pull the headers to weld the new bungs properly. I won't have time to do that until December, so here's to hoping the heat sinks fix the issue
