Enzo going by what Houtman posted " I had two of them on my 2017 EX , did not work , two on my 2014 DLX worked perfectly . " it would very likely work on your 2014 model.
Thanks to the Ferret's suggestion and description;
The only benefit would be the elimination of the subtle surging at moderate steady rides if that bothers you.
The o2 sensors will deteriorate over time if left disconnected by sooting up which is why they provede the stainless inserts.
If it was me i would leave the o2 sensors in place and only use the 2 connectors to see if your ecu sets a code with them installed.
If everything works as planned after 1000 km maybe take the next step and swap the o2 sensors for the inserts.
If the connectors don't work and set a code there is a simple sequsnce to clear the code in the ecu which involves a wire link and some instructions which worked for me on my 2010/13 model;
The ecu may set faultcode 21 if the o2 sensor is disconnected;

engine operates normally
faulty oxygen sensor
Here is the procedure to reset a fault code ;
The fuel injection system warning light uses long ( 1.3 second ) and short ( .5 second ) flashes to give out the fault code. A long flash is used to indicate the first digit of a double digit fault code ( i.e. 10 or above ). If a single digit fault code is being displayed ( i.e. 1 to 9 ) there will be a number of short flashes equivalent to the code being displayed.
For example, two long flashes followed by five short flashes indicate the fault code number twenty five. If there is more than one fault code, there will be a gap before the other codes are revealed ( the codes will be revealed in order , starting with the lowest and ending with the highest ). Once all the code(s) have been revealed, the ECM will continuously run through the code(s) stored in its memory, revealing each one in turn with a short gap between them.
Once the fault has been identified and corrected, it will be necessary to reset the system by removing the fault code from the ECM memory. To do this, ensure the ignition is switched OFF then bridge the terminals of the service check connector as before.
Turn the ignition ON then disconnect the bridge wire from the service check connector.
When the wire is removed the FI light should come on for approximately five seconds, during which time the bridging wire must be reconnected.
The warning light should start to flash when the bridging wire is reconnected, indicating that all the fault codes have been erased. However, if the light flashes twenty times then the memory has not been erased and the procedure should be repeated.
Turn off the ignition then remove the bridging wire.
Check the operation of the warning light ( in some cases it may be necessary to repeat the erasing procedure more than once ) then replace the seat.
here is a video that shows what's required and how to do the reset;

Of course if you have the healtech diagnostic tool that will reset the code too.
That is all i know about the o2 sensors Enzo, hope this helps.
