Default Will headers require o2 extensions?

As stated, will all long tube swap headers require o2 extensions for the wiring harness?

Could the lines simply be extended by splicing and soldering? That's prolly not even a good idea anyway...

I didn't have to lengthen my factory harness.

Depends on what harness you are using and what headers you are using. With a 99 Fbody harness and Hooker long tubes, I had to extend the front O2 wires. Another option would have been to pop open the PCM connector and move the rear O2 wires to the front.

If those are the 1st gen Fbody ls1swap Hookers, they come with extensions for the O2 sensors.

I have my PCM mounted on the front of the trans tunnel, with the 02 wires running down to with the tranas harness I have plenty of wire left. D-side ahs about 2 feet extra, the p-side has a good foot left over.
