On my '98, the passenger side reached fine. (the front o2 that is)
The driver's side was short. (it comes to the front and goes down). I pulled the 4 wires out of the harness and went down the back. I've heard others say they had no problem, maybe later years are different.
The rears are deleted in my pcm. I have some screwed in there to fill the holes though. I think the wires would reach, but the sensors were out of a v6 and the connectors were different.
My headers and y-pipe had bungs already. It's a used set, so I don't know what you're starting with on a new set...

ok well I'm getting the MAC's used, so i dont really know how it's setup. I read somewhere that Mac's have 4 O2 bungs. The y-pipe I'm getting with it has gutted cats I guess, or either straight pipe with cats welded around it. I'm not sure. So do I need front or rear O2 sims? I've read enough that i think I'd be fine without extensions. I guess I'm gonna reuse my old bolts and gaskets too.

thanks alot, at this point I think the only thing that could be a problem for me if that the Y-pipe I'm getting has been cut to fit his catback. I'm running stock piping until a bullet muffler. if my setup ends up being too loud with Mids and an ORY then I'll add another bullet to the I-pipe. I'm wondering if I'll get flutter with my AIR setup and have to do the restrictor plate mod? Is that common, I mean, my engine makes alot of noise and ticking now, but i dont know
