yea you will.. but dont buy extensions... 95% of people that do have MAJOR issues.. i did.. the extensions make them read crappy... go to local auto parts store and buy some vette o2s.. no extensions needed and no problems..

yes they plug right in.. and they have more than enough length.. just use zipties or something to take the slack out.. i just bought some because i was having so many problems with my extensions.. i BELIEVE i paid 140 for them.. but it was SOOOOO Worth it.. changed them, started my car up and all problems solved!

let me know when you start loading up and idling too high and running rich!

everyone does at some point.. the vette ones are better.. period, why not do it and do it good the first time.. ebcause say he buys those put them on and they screw up 2 weeks later (which is what mine and LOTS of peoples have done) then he just wasted that money.. buy the vette ones and not worry about it...

this is happen to more than 2-3 people i know personally and countless ones on here..

My extensions from TSP have worked fine for over a year now (800 miles)...they are the plug in type. Just make sure you tie them up away from things and that they are not rubbing on anything.

I have the famous Bosch vette 02's (13111) and had more problems with them than my original 40K mile 02's with extensions. Ended up going OL. They were a waste of money.

get these you wont have problems, you need one 12" and one 24"(leave a comment when you order to get one 12" and one 24" instead of two 24"s) http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...roducts_id=759

you don't need more than 2 12" and as for the extensions I must be one of the lucky ones who's had them on for about 3 months now and not one problem with them (still need a tune) but that's to be expected since the cars going to run rich after the LT install anyway.

bottom line is up to you Fast98Z, take the advise of everyone and make your own decision. Some people are bias when it come to spending $$ on their car. chances are if you went the same way the rest of us did with PaceSetters your on a budget. the GM 12" extensions work for those who install them correctly.
The corvette O2's work just as well, but have there fair share of issues.
