Default xs stainless header owners...

did you have to use extensions for the 02 sensors or did you use the stock? or did you go with the Bosch 13111's?

I don't really want to spend the $$ on the bosch's right now, and if I don't really need them I'd like to avoid extensions... however, $50 vs. $140 is a big "duh" for a budget setup.

If you need to save money make your own extensions. Its not hard, just splice the wire.

I made all of mine. Just be sure to cover them up or a header will burn right through them.

just make sure the connections are solid, soldering them is best, then heat shrink wrap the connections.

Or get that chineese finger trap mesch that comes on the ones that you buy and put it over the wires. Any covering helps for sure though.
