you will need two extentions for your front o2 sensors. you have to have your two front ones in the collectors. then you will need to get sims for the back o2 sensors or you will set off a "SES" light. the front two will be infront of the cats, the back to behind the cats

thanks for the help
thanks for the help
yea, i think they are 24" extensions. you don't rreeaalllllyyy need the sims, i don't run them myself. you will have a ses light come on if you don't run them. all depends on how annoying it is to you.
Just get the rears shut off via a tune, the best way really. As for extentions, your not going to need more then 12", 24's are a bit much I had to do alot of zip tying for the slack.
Now might be a good time to get new O2's. You want Bosch 13111's because they work better with headers than the stock ones and you won't need extensions.
If you know somebody who can tune the car you will not need sims.

You need either extensions and sims. Or extensions and a tune . Also instead of the extensions you can get the bosch o2's if you wanna spend the money.
I went the extensions and get the car tuned route

Also. You will have a really hard time finding the sims. They are actually mroe expensive in most cases than just having the codes shut off by a tuner. Caspers no longer makes them due to a government ruling, and they were probably responsible for 95% of the market. You will have to find a used set.
