Going to have a custom ORP made for my Hookers. Thunder Racing sells the in 12", 24" and 42" lengths. What length do I need to buy?

I think you are mixing up O2 sims and O2 extensions. O2 sims take the place of the actual O2s and fool the computer into thinking that the O2 are working at optimum. Whereas the O2 extension is just that, it extends the length of the O2 hardness.

With ORP you will need just the plug in O2 sims. They plug into the O2 hardness and than you tie them off - I tied them to the frame.

DOH! I feel dumb now. But, do I need extensions for the rear sensors? I know I need them for the front sensors because they came with the headers.

If you are going to be using ORP you do NOT want to hook up the sensors - it would throw an SES light. Just use the sims. Leave the O2 in the rear holes, plug in the sims, tie off the sims to the frame. Done.
