You could get extensions from here... http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...th=236_255_381

How are they junk? You didn't like the soldering you did, or you had a bad sensor?
I just put LT's on and I used an O2 that was already extended by cutting and splicing. Is that not a good way to do it?

thats what I've heard, but I don't see how buying extentions is any different than cutting and splicing wire. When it comes down to it, you're still adding more wire. And typically you have less resistance when soldiering wire than when you use electrical connectors like butt connectors or the GM 4 pin O2 connectors.
The only way I could see adding wire and not affecting resistance is if the new wire is a larger gauge wire, since larger wire has less resistance than smaller wire.
I'm no electrical expert but I do have a good understanding of it. I guess its just enough for me to overthink stupid stuff haha..
I want to beleive that buying extentions will fix my problem, but I'm just skeptical. Does EVERYBODY buy extentions for their O2's, no one has extended them and not had any issues?

I actually have an extra one laying around somewhere. All you need is one, for the passenger side.

Does anyone know a part number for a proper O2 sensor that already comes with a longer wire? For those of us planning on putting on long tubes and changing O2s at the same time.
