new o2 sensors, GM or Bosch?
ok so i know the vettes are longer, the rear ones, and i have heard that they run hotter and would be good for headers. now the thing is, i think i read that only about the bosch, can anyone confirm the same about the GM ones?
i have pretty new sensors right now and i have extensions, the plug in kind, and i was just wondering if that may throw off some of my readings and if thats the case if these would help. or should there be no issue with the ones i have?
and is this the part number? 25317697

i got the bosch 13111 from autozone for $75. the wire on it was at least 5" longer than my old o2 and extension combined. the wire is also covered in a thick rubber tube to help it not get burnt.

I went into autozone yesterday and picked up a bosch one...
Autozone person: "Can I help you find anything"
Me (as I'm heading towards the oil... was in a rush) "Yea, actually I need a Bosch 13111 O2 Sensor"
Autozone: "wow, how'd you know that part number off the top of your head?"
Lol
Then he has to put in the info for warranty and I messe dup
Autozone: "What car is this for?"
Me: " 2000 Trans Am"
Him: "This part isn't showing up for a 2000 Trans Am, are you sure it's right?"
Me: "Yes, it's for an aftermarket application"
Him: "It's still not showing up"
Me: "OK, put in it's for a 2002 Corvette"
Him: "OK, you're all set"
lol

just got back from doing my research on this thread and I was shocked!
ADvance and Autozone wanted $69.99 for the Bosch 13111's with a 3 month warranty
MY GM dealership here in East Texas wanted $49.99 for the rear vette 2002 o2 senso9r with a 12 month warranty!
Needless to say I placed my order for the Vette o2........what a shockeer

Could one of you guys that have new 02 sensors post a screen shot of the switching at IDLE and crusing down the road (if you have the ability to monitor it)? Reason I ask is because I would like to compare what I see in HPTuners on my 02s to someone that has new ones to see if mine are still working good or if I need to shell out the $60+ each for new Denso universal sensors. Thanks!
