What sort of mods do you have? If you're like me and you have longtubes, no oxygen sensor is going to keep you from throwing an insufficient switching code on the front sensors. I've tried the OEM sensors, and the Bosch's, but this code has never gone away on my car. And I hate it. Also I can't pass emissions because of it.

I have longtubes and use extensions with the stock o2 sensors. I haven't tossed a code for the month I was driving untuned, and it's still running great after a tune. Mind you I'm using QTP stainless steel longtubes that have been ceramic coated.

What headers are you running? I have the insufficient switching codes in both banks. Im trying to figure something out before I have to take the emmisions test. I ve read through all the topics on here about these code. Theres no for sure answer to this question.

we installed extensions on my friends 00 with pacesetters with the stock o2 and it ran pig rich trying to figure out what was going on. put the bosch 13111's on in the parking lot of autozone and it ran rich for maybe a min and then went back to a normal then the CEL went off.

sorry to put this is two posts. but bosch has the market dominated in the O2's i think they manufacter for about everyone. however NGK does make some and if you get a parts guy that wants to work you can prolly have him cross the 13111 number or just look it up for the rears on a c5 vette.

I'm using Denso's, supposed to be exstreamly tough and even resistent to lead GMHP ran some with leaded gas to test that claim and the O2 sensors were not harmed. you can even look them up at their web site
