Question 02 sensor help

Just got pacesetter Longtubes, looks like I will need longer 02 sensors or wires. Can I use same o2s and just get an extended wire, or do I need both new sensor and extended wires?

Default

You can keep the old O2s and buy extensions for $40, you can extend them yourself using the solderless kit Pacesetter includes (which I don't recommend), or you can trash everything in the kit except the wire included and solder them yourself in 10 minutes. I marked up and cut the wires (make sure they don't touch) halfway down the sensor to solder the extensions in. I used wire wrap (from the stock spark plug wires I removed while doing the header swap) and electrical tape to make everything neat.

Also, if you bought coated Pacesetters then they're going to foul your O2s in a matter of weeks.
