O2 sensors HELP SO apparently when we installed the headers in my car my buddy and I accidentally took the rear o2 sensors of the stock exhaust manifolds and installed them into the header vs using the front ones from the exhaust manifolds. Now I have two male jack connectors (as in the one right behind the header on the block is the same as the one on the O2 sensor wire. My question is: Is there an adapter that will allow me to plug the two males into it. Or do I have to buy an entire new o2 sensor with wire with the female end on it? Bellow is a pic of what I mean since it's a bunch of jiberish. The two ends I have both look like this (male ends) and I need to join them

I don't know if there is a male to male connector, but why not just put the right o2 sensors in the right place? Don't you have the originals anymore? Also, how many miles do you have on your car? It may be a good idea to get new ones anyway, they don't last forever.
You could also just get female ends and re-wire the sensors. I have an extra one that I was just about to toss in the garbage.

You'll probably have to extend the o2 sensors since they will be placed in a new spot due to the headers, DO NOT cut the wires on the o2 and extend them! Once an o2 sensor wire is cut and extended it will not read the voltage right and will throw a low voltage code. Extend the harness to them, not the o2's to the harness.
