You can go to autozone and buy o2 sensors for 50 bucks

Go with the copper NGK TR55's instead of the IX's. They are a lot cheaper and you won't see any performance difference with the IX's

I know that, but they are NOT ANYWHERE near as good as real, authentic, genuine GM AC Delco 02 sensors that were designed by the same people who designed the entire engine. The Bosch and other aftermarket cheapies have 4 openings to read the exhaust, AC Delco 02's have 6 or 8 openings in each sensor tip.......they're much better and the engine will run better.....for an additional $25.00 each, its well worth it to have the real deal.
