Reuse or not to reuse 02's? That is the question, a few months ago I had the dreaded P0430 code, a few peps on CZ28 said that alot of LS1 F-Body's had a problem with the cats but it could be the sensor. Either way, I shut the code off ith HP Tuners since I didn't really see any trouble running the car. Should I just cough up the money and replace all 4 or just 2 or just 1? I did search and saw that there is no difference between using the sensor for either the back or front. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, doing this all because i'm tossing in some new Pacesetters...

You have four sensors; with the LT's you'll only need two, so find two of yours that work without throwing codes and you're good to go. My buddy and I are both using stockers with extensions on our LT's and they're working fine.

I'm using the stock O2's with LT's and IIRC 24" plug in extensions (not the crap pacesetter sent). No problems yet, been about 3000 miles and the original O2's now have 40,000 on them. I tune it with HPTuners and check everything with a wideband on occasion.

I throw the code about once a year with the factory 02s and LTs/ORY. It usually stays on a couple days before it turns off which I can deal with. Eventually I'm going to upgrade to the 1311s
