Check the sponsors. ---> Chances are that if you are buying the headers from a company they can get you the extension as well.

Pacesetters come with a make your own extensions kit, which I havn't seen myself but some people buy proper extensions anyway.

The pacesetter extension kit is terrible. Buy the extenders or buy the vette rear O2 sensors. I threw codes with every o2 sensor i bought except with the vette rears.

You can always cut, solder, shrink wrap to lengthen. Mucho cheapero.

It's better not to mess with them.


Do a search and you will see. Shrink wrapping isn't a guarantee that it'll seal as well as it needs to, assuming it was done correctly to begin with. I do believe air actually passes through one of those wires. It's not something to just start cutting/splicing/soldering to save a few bucks.

This is why you don't necessarily want to mess with them yourself.

Thanks for trying to take a stab at my intelligence. Your sarcasm isn't appreciated, I thought perhaps you were inept enough to believe it as not everyone on this site knows an inkling of what they are talking about.

got mine from Speed Inc. they had the lowest price plus they are only 20 mins from me. I've also got Pacesetter's on my 01 SS. You'll need a 24" on the driver side and 12" should be more than enough on the pass side.

but if the o2s are old i would recommend getting vette rear o2s, eliminates the extensions plus you get brand new responsive o2s

I had o2 extensions, they threw a code about every other time I drove the car. Rear Vette o2s are long enough- no extensions necessary! When I switched to em the codes went bye bye.

I've had the headers in my car since April and just now started throwing those codes, only happened once so far. I've heard alot of guys like you who have switched to the vette o2's and eliminated it. Where did you get them from and who has the best price on these ? They are Bosch PN 13111 right ?
thanks
