I don't really think that different brands of headers determine whether or not your o2s are going to last. I'm running SLP LTs with the SLP ORY. My stock o2 sensors with extensions lasted for 2 years after installing the SLP LTs with just a MAF Translator tune that I did on the dyno with a wide-band. Now my car has an MS3, full-bolt ons, and a speed density tune. I have Bosch 13111s in the front and the rears are tuned out. If the car is tuned good then there shouldn't be any problems making the 13111s last. One thing that I was told to do is turn the key to accessory, and give the heating elements in the o2 sensors time (I usually let it sit for a few minutes) to heat up before cranking the car. That way you're not dumping a bunch of fuel in warm-up mode on cold o2 sensors. My Bosch 13111s have over 20k miles on them, and I haven't had any problems. Another big thing is making sure that there are no exhaust leaks, especially around the collector.

. As for long extensions, use the bosch 13111, comes with a VERY long wire on it. Autozone has them for $63..

Well after my header install, the headers burned right through my extensions down low (right next to oil pan). I bought some heatwrap from Summit and coated those things, work fine now.

As far as the actual sensor itself goes... no problem
