Default How did you route your o2 extensions?

i finally hooked up my drivers side o2 (somehow i ended up with 2 male connectors meeting up, so i bought a new o2) i dont like that my o2s hang. i ziptied them to random holes under the car so they dont drag. how did you route yours? pics please. i want the best quarentee ls1tech members can give me.

Re-pin the ecm to use the rear connector, so you don't have to use extensions/have excess wire tied up.

Yup just threw a few zip ties on there and made made sure there wasn't any slack in the extensions and it worked perfectly. Only thing is the passenger side extension seemed to be longer so I had to bundle it up before I zip tied it

The correct way I was told from my exhaust shop was to put them through your motor mount, that's what I did and I can't see any of the extension, works perfect!

The correct way would be to get the correct length for the job, no?

my drivers side bugs me. i ran it under the steering linkage. im worried it will snag or something. i should have ran it with my brake lines on the other side of the heat shield thing. smh.

Nobody reads...this is the best way to do it.

Plug the sensors into the original rear O2 connectors, then swap a few wires at the PCM...then just get the car tuned. Then you have no additional wiring strewn about under your car.

No car to my knowledge ever left the factory with longtube headers. This includes Firehawk's and Camaro SS's
