Home made 02 Extensions. I got one or 2 PM's about what I did to extend my own 02 sensors with the Pacesetter kit. It's really easy. One thing to notice when cutting the wires on your 02 sensors is that there are 4 wires, 2 of these wires are the exact same shade of brown, so when cutting them either mark them or do what I did and cut them at different length's. I extended both of my 02 sensors about 20", but you can get away with extending 1 of them about 12" and the other one about 20". This would leave much less slack.
I cut all of my 02 sensor wires, then just cut all of my wire extensions and didn't use the supplied butt splices, I soldered all of my connections, then used electrical tape on them, then shrink wrapped them and finally covered them in convoluted tubing secured with Tie wraps. See attached pix for final product and comparison with stock 02 sensor.

I did the same thing when I changed from slp longtubes to Hooker. took about 10 minutes, I don't know why anyone would spend money on extensions when its so easy to do them yourself.
