Hey guys I'm in the process of my longtube install and was wondering where is the best place to buy O2 extensions for my ls1? Can I rig up my own or will that mess up the sensor?

Def don't rig up your own. You can and chances are it will work. But I wouldn't. A really good option is to go get new O2 sensor, the REAR O2 from a 2003-04 Corvette will work perfect. Not only do you eliminate the need for extension and getting inaccurate readings with all those clips or cutting and crimping, but you also replace your O2s at the same time!

That is a good idea.

I bought my extensions from Vengence
