you'll need 02 wire extensions, or you can buy rear 2002 corvette o2 sensors, in which case you won't need extensions, like the Bosch 13111

I know that if you get it tuned, they tune out the back 02s, and you will need extensions for the fronts though.

do the fronts, you'll have to get a tune anyways to get full potenial of the headers at that point get them to delete rear o2's. those things aren't cheap.

My O2 extensions came with my ARH headers. Are you sure that they didn't come with yours?

My o2 extensions came with my headers as well. But yeah, you should be able to find them at ws6store or fasttoys or most of the sponsors, I believe. And colews6 stole the words right out of my mouth.

where are you getting the extensions from? i got the ones from autozone, the vette ones and they are pretty damn long i had to tie them off... 24" seems to be long but get them and you can tie them off also

instead of getting extensions just pay a little more and just get new o2 sensors the 2002 corvette o2's then you will have new o2's and you wont have to buy extensions. you might be due for new o2's anyway better for tuning
