02 sensors/extensions/simulators?

I just got my Kook's LT's and catted Y, I will be installing them and am confused on what to do with the 02 sensors and extensions, and if I need 02 simulators for the rear two bungs? I have two '24 extensions, are these for the front 02 sensors? If they are, then what do I do w/ the back two? Do I need to by simulators? -Thanks all

Since you have a catted y-pipe, you can use the rear O2's or not. If you choose to use them, you need to install the O2 sensors, then probably buy more entensions for them. I am not sure if they will be long enough without exensions. You can go ahead and install them, and if the wires arent long enough, then just leave them disconnected. There won't be any problems with them disconnected except for a SES light. Then when you get the extensions install them. If you choose not to run rear O2 sensors, then you will need O2 simmulators or you will need to take the car to a tuner and have the SES codes edited out. I'd say, if there are already O2 bungs behind the cats, then install the rear O2's and buy extensions if you need them. That will be cheaper than O2 simms or a tune.

Oh, and I used 24" extensions for my LT's also, one of each side for thr front O2's

Not to many responses huh sean? Like Ferocity02 said, if they are there already on the headers i would just use them. Buy the extensions if you have to. Beats haveing to delete codes and what not. Do it right the first time ya know? Thats just personal opinion though.

On my LTs I use a standard O2 for the driver's side front. On the passenger side front, I spliced in 12 inches of 22 guage wires using crimped connectors from Radeo Shack.

I use 02 Simms on both rear O2 connectors.

I am using Cats but just failed NY inspection - consequently, that sucks...
