Default Vette rear o2 sensor $180 each!

That's what the Stealership just quoted me for the OEM part (25317697). Does SPDC sell these? Or maybe I should go with the 13111 Bosch, Advance quoted me $80 for those.

Where's a good place to get a pair of rear Vette o2 sensors?

TIA

I see the OEM sensor is $126 from SDPC...

Who's got a good price on the Bosch 13111....I might just get them from Advance for $80. I hear they are warrantied for 1 year.

People use rear ones in the front when they run headers due to the better heater.

I think you misunderstand, the vette rear o2s can be used in the front o2 sensor position (the ones you need) on the F body

the rear o2 in a fbody are useless...right? is the vette the same way? if it is..why not tune them out?

The SENSOR itself is just a sensor, just like a sparkplug.

We are saying that the 'vette REAR O2 SENSORS (the physical sensors that screw in) work well when placed in the FRONT O2 SENSOR POSITION on an F-body.

You will have nothing plugged in/screwed in in the rear O2 sensor position still, which is what you have tuned out.
