13111 is what is listed in the very top of this thread from a year ago. Re-pinning your PCM is free and has absolutely nothing to do with inspection. What you are simply doing is unplugging and changing spots with I believe 4 wires. In the end, the rear sockets that the after-cat o2's plug into will now read the front 02's enabling you to use you factory front o2 sensors since the socket's closer to the bung. The socket that reads the front o2 is now reading the rear o2 sensors (which is you have lt's and an ORY/TD's you probably won't have these anyways). Not only is this way free, but you don't have to deal with the 10ft o2 harness the 13111's have and the fact that a lot of people have issues with the 13111's (I didn't believe them either until both went out after 2 months, and that's AFTER a tune)
Here's the thread if you still don't understand it right.

Because I have always stayed away from wiring just not my thing. maybe after i'm more confident in my abilities after college. no reason to sell a car I just don't want my favorite car to be the first one im messing with electrical on and if I **** up have more problems.

Those of you that are re-pinning, my rear plugs do not reach the O2's, and i can't get my hand up above the trans to get some looming loose. What are you doing about that?

I actually did extensions without any problems... The extension wires came with my Pacesetters from TexasSpeed. Just made sure to wrap it with heat shrink and some electric tape for more protection. It would've worked perfectly if I wasn't a dumbass. I ziptied it to something, but didn't check thoroughly for slack, and eventually it hung and rested near the collector, and burned a hole through the heatshrink and exposed the wires. Then whenever it rained, I'd misfire.
Since then, I got the Bosch 13111 and have had no issues...and I ziptied better. I have the 13111 on the driver side, and passenger side is still extensions. Probably going on about 2-3 years or so and no issues. Plus, I lieve in Chicago and this was my DD up until about 6 months ago, so it saw all kinds of weather and precipitation.
One thing that I remember though, is that it wasn't the easiest soldering job, because the solder would bead off like water drops on teflon. It was kinda weird.
