Can I go to a dealer to get these, or get a p/n? Are these worth buying over o2 extensions?

I just got 2 from Autozone.Part #13111 for the Bosches.They were $65 a piece.Not only do they have longer wires,they have a higher heater watt rating.Someone correct me if im wrong but i think they're 65w.There's alot of threads about this.

deetsnai,the connectors are the same.01TaFlyer,thats not actually a bad price.The stock replacements are only a few dollars cheaper.Ive been running extensions for about 2 1/2 yrs.Sometimes i get switching codes or heater circuit codes.Some people who run headers get the heater code alot due to the o2's being moved and not heating properly.If you do a search for (oxygen sensor or o2's) you'll see some have luck with the Vette o2's some dont.But if you've got alot of miles or are going to use extensions i'd really consider going to the Vette sensors.
For me it was 2 fold,no longer need the extensions and have a higher heater wattage.Good luck whith what route you choose!

Hmm, well I hadn't considered it that way. So, part #13111 is for the front o2s correct?

And this will completely replace the old wire, including the sensor?

13111 is the part # for the rear Vettes.They can be used and function the same in the front.Alot of guys who run rear o2 simms on the rear keep the rear o2's.That away if a front goes bad they have a spare.Basically the rear Vettes do the same function.But better for the reason i said above.

Ok, but will it be necessary for me to buy them for the front? I won't have cats, and the rear o2s editted out.

Your stock front o2's will be fine for the front,if your going to use extensions.Keep your rears for spares.I have the Hooker lt's and they came with extensions when i bought them a couple of years ago.
If you plan on buying new o2's,I would get the Vette o2's and then you wont need extensions.
