Default Header install, what o2 extensions do i need for 2000 fbod?

I tried using the search but nothing informative came up. I went on Speedinc site and they have the 12inch and 24inch and it says specify flat or square connector. Which ones do i need?

Thanks!

If you wanted to you could just get brand new Corvette O2's. They are longer than the F-Body length. Bosch part #13111

24" will do fine. You'll be able to zip tie the excess out of the way. I recommend WS6Store for them - best price I've seen.

I recommend extending your own that are already there. If you can solder or splice in anyway you can save yourself the money. I had bought the 12" a while ago and needed them to be longer recently. No way in hell I was going to spend more money on a 4 wire cable. Buy some wire and extend them yourself. It's tooooooo easy. I was like everyone else in the beginning. Didnt want to make a mistake and screw them up. There is no way to screw them up. Its the easiest splice job you'll ever do.
Heck, send me your cables and I'll extend them for you for a small and reasonable fee.

I had heard not to splice the wires because the signal would be distorted from the small resistance created where the 2 sets of wires would be connected at thus throwing off the o2 readings.

WHAT?!?? no troubles here. What do you think an extension is? In fact if you want to look at it your way a soldered splice will produce less resistance than those connectors.

"Crimping" the wires will cause a small amount of resistance.. "Soldering" the wires together will give you a better connection.
