Default Fyi....

the bosch 13111 02 sensors are the ****... one of my 02's blew today and i replaced them both with those vette 02's and it feels better than it ever has, but it has 98,000 miles so im guessing those were stock 02 sensors
FYI

I've heard that you really don't need to replace them unless they go bad. When you say that it felt better than it ever has, do you mean that the car pulled harder or ran better after the O2 sensor was changed? I'm assuming these were the fronts?

one of them was completely bad... cod po154 or something, it was reading "no activity" so i rewired it and it still showed nothing...as for running better, it drives around daily driver alot better... smoother, shifts better, and just doesnt hesitate like it did before but i didnt know that anything was wrong before because ive never felt brand new 02's.... by no means does it "pull harder" because all wide open throttle is open loop, or closed, not sure but it has one system that uses your 02's and your maf, iat, and tps to meter your fuel air mixture (closed loop i think) and wide open is open when it just dumps all fuel!!! if i have these systems backwards let me know
