Just to make sure I am clear. I am needing to know if the factory front 02 sensor harness will reach the new location on the collectors on the OBX headers. Thanks

yet raven154 stated in the Original OBX thread that he did not use his extensions that came with his kook headers.
Also, I thought extensions were either 12 or 24". I have not come across 18" ones.

I did not need them with my obx catless. same thing really, however you do need to release the or harness from the stock holders. No big deal, and the harness just hangs is all.

I had to modify my harness slightly to get the passenger side sensor to plug in. By modify, I had to cut the harness tape at an intersection behind the intake manifold and pull the O2 sensor wiring down. It's a tight stretch to get the connectors together. The Drivers side only required pulling the harness off of the bolt on the back of the head.
