Default 13111 Vette O2's or Stock?

I was planning on using the corvette rear bosch#13111 O2 because of their longer cables....but after searching older posts some people said that the vette o2's are leading to the cycle/not heating up code being thrown more often than with stock type O2's

Any Advice and what O2 will work best with stainless headers?

Thanks

I've had many problems with my stock O2's since my header install last year. I'm going with the bosch 13111's eventually.

They're supposed to have a lot better heater element in them.

ok I thought 13111's were the way to go, untill i read a few older posts when I did a search. Like you guys said tho, you would think the o2 having a better heating element would keep that sim a lil more toasty.

I went through about a dozen 13111's before finally turning them off and going open loop. For what its worth, the stockers lasted longer than any of the vette rear sensors.

Running 13111s for 3 months and no issues.

See how that goes.
