Default o2 extensions needed with hooker LT's?

like the title says do i need O2 extensions for my hooker LT's im deployed right now and waiting to get home to install them just want to know i have everything i need to do it, i bought the air blockoff plates, and a y-pipe bump stop just in case its knocking, but it didnt occur to me until now about the O2 extensions. thanks for the help
also if i do get extensions how do i know what length ill need? i see they are sold in 12",24" and 36" i think? i dont want to have to run around to buy parts mid-install and i dont want the car running like crap until i get the parts

You'll either need the o2 extensions or longer o2 sensors for any longtube headers. I would personally just get the actual sensors unless the ones you have now are new. Bosch part number is 13111. Don't forget some anti-seize as well.

Yep, they are actually the rear o2's for the C5 vettes which is why they are longer.

I went with the 13111's and there was quite a bit of extra wire. I would recommend just buying them from the beginning. I got extensions then almost immediately after, I had to replace one of my O2's so I just got the 13111's and swapped both out.

Yep, this is where zipties become your friend. I have mine "folded up" and zip-tied to the frame. No problems for over 2 years now.
