Default What size o2 wire extensions

Hey i have long tube headers on my 96 firebird. My old o2 sensors are dead so i am replacing them and buying some o2 wire extensions. What length should I get. 12 inches or 24 inches?

If you already had extensions why not get same length? Kinda varies by headers but I went with 24's jsut to be safe and zip tie them so they don't hang/drag but 12's would probably fine...lol sorry i'm not much help...i just made sure i had long enough extensions so i didn't have to order them send back and order again..

My 12inch ones were just barely long enough. 24's might be a safer route to go.

I did not have extensions. They were the cut and add method from pacesetter. Now I just want to add extensions looks like 24 inches will work better.

I went with 2 24" extensions from racetronix, price wasnt too bad. I also have pacesetter headers.

I am running hooker longtubes and I only had to extend the wires on the driver side about 6 inches. so I would say that the 12 inch extentions would be enough.
