Pacesetter icluded o2 wires Is there a particular reason that people who buy Pacesetter headers spend extra money on o2 extensions since they come with wire, heatshrink, and butt splices to extend them yourself? Just wondering if people didnt feel comfortable doing it or what.
Im kinda under the weather right now but just for couriosity I took the passenger side header and installed it with a couple of bolts to hold it in to see how it fit. The header literally just slid right in. Driver side will be tighter I know but I couldnt be happier with the quality of these headers.

Plus I know several people that had 02 sensor codes (forget the # at the moment) but it was a "slow" switching problem. If you go that route I recommend soilder.

I bought extensions also. I gave the wiring kit a try with the sensors from behind the cats that I wasnt using and didnt have too much luck with it. Two of the wires are the same color so its very easy to get them mixed up. Also you can very easily screw something up, Just get the extensions. I got two 24" ones and they worked great!

Nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Just make sure you seal/connect/tuck it up nicely. You are going to have to cut the existing wires and connect the wires given to the cut wires.
With the O2 extensions you buy seperately, you just plug them in. No cutting, no sweating, no ugly white wires with electrical tap wrapped around them 500 times.

I don't like the "wiring kit" that they send, I always install O2 extensions. Besides, the crimp connectors aren't exactly the right way to connect wiring, I'd recommend solder and heat shrink to insure a proper connection if you opt for that route. BTW, you're only supposed to extend the PCM harness side of the connector, not the actual O2 sensor wiring.

ya, the wires on the actual O2 sensor are stainless or something
can't solder 'em with plain ol rosin core solder...i think someone on here said you have to silver-solder em
