Vette O2s Need to get a new o2 sensor o go with my long tube headers. I have a 99 TA. I know you can use vette sensors but so I just ask for same year vette? I'm gonna see if Oreillys has them instead of waiting to get online
I just got 2 off ebay for like $70 shipped. I know you do not want to wait, but I got 2 for the price autozone and oreillys wanted for 1. But yeah I do have to wait 3 days to get them.
When I put longtubes on the first thing I used were extensions, every time water would get in the socket of the extension (yes it had the seal inside it) it would cause the o2's to send faulty readings and the car would miss.
I then went to Corvette o2's from Bosch after that, I didn't believe it when everyone on here said Bosch o2's have slow response problems, a month later my car threw a CEL because of the o2's.
I now have bought factory Denso front o2's and re-pinned my PCM to where my rear o2 sockets actually read the front so I don't extension/longer o2's or anything else and my car's never ran any better, wish I would have done it to begin with.

x2, I kept getting codes 1133 and 1153. My tuner had to tune the codes out. He said they were switching/heating just fine, but would still throw the codes. He had never seen this issue before, and he is a reputable LS tuner.

z-camaro, i'm having the same 1153 code every 100miles went thru the wiring,O K went thru looking for vacumm leaks, O K, changed 02 sensor, O K, still throwing 1153 was told by what seemed to me a very knowledgable young man that with some long tubes (not all)have this issue because of the temp difference between cast iron and cooler running long tubes,the speed at which the exaust runs thru that it is hard for our stock pcm's to keep up the switching that it will just throw a code,which in my case is a 1153 code also

Like I said, the tuner ended up tuning out those codes. I have talked to a few running the same exact headers (which are ceramic coated to help keep the heat in) with no problems, so I'm not sure why it only happens to some cars.
